In all fairness, this is one of the more nice bunker conversions I’ve seen. But, still, two million bucks is a lot of money. On the other hand, you can ride out a lot of apocalypse in this thing….
Originally constructed in the 1960s at a cost of $4.5 million, an equivalent value today exceeding $34 million, this bunker represents the pinnacle of security and resilience.Its features include formidable 2.5-foot-thick concrete walls, additional layers of earth, EMP-resistant copper shielding, & 2 massive 3,000 pound blast doors.
Inside, the bunker has been meticulously transformed into a luxurious living space spanning two levels.It boasts a modern kitchen, two bathrooms, a spacious living room, and adaptable bedroom arrangements . Complementing these features are amenities such as a gym, a soundproof music studio with recording facilities, a theater room complete with a pool table, an expansive glass blowing studio, and a generous recreation area with soaring 16-foot high ceilings.
One of its standout attributes is self-sufficiency, with a private water well, a new pump, and a substantial 10,000-gallon stainless steel water storage tank, all seamlessly connected to an Aquasana Water Filtration System.The bunker is equipped with an emergency escape hatch and a towering 177-ft communication tower.
It’s cool, no two ways about it. But I’m loathe to live a life where sewage has to be pumped up…I think I’d prefer an above-ground earth-bermed bunker just to avoid having to fight gravity on things like that.

The first rule of $2M Bunker Club is you don’t talk about $2M Bunker Club.
No, seriously.
This is now just $2M worth of fail.
my dream home is built of stacked tires, filled with concrete, concrete slab roof, covered by earth. Earthship construction, facing south.
An ATT Longlines repeater station…GREAT possibilities, more so than a missile launch complex.
Too bad they fail (for me) the first rule of real estate – Location. Polo is NNE of Kansas City, Mo, but not far enough to be unaffected by the masses. Plus, east of the Mississippi which is generally bad.
Also, the 10,000 gallon stainless steel water tank, two generators, fuel tanks, etc that they were originally built with seem to have been salvaged
Yeah…I looked at this one 46°04’54″N 112°06’56″W
Damn….I missed that one – when was it for sale?
You can’t be east of the Mississippi in Missouri.
But it does appear you can be east of the Missouri in Mississippi
Back in the ’90s, AT&T abandoned their communication bunkers across the country. Some of these bunkers were 11,000 sf underground and could be had for pennies on the dollar – like 30k-50k.
I almost bought one of their microwave relay bunkers back in the 00’s.
There is a Youtube from someone who bought one of these facilities, I think in Nevada, way far from anything.
I wonder if it’s as nice as the Bunker in Obama’s Netflix “you can’t trust white people” Apocalypse movie. Does it have the complete catalogue of friends episodes?
I don’t know about Missoula specifically, but they’re cracking down on gravity fed septic systems in many parts of Montana. All new systems in the Bitterroot Valley have to be pressurized with a pump. There’s still plenty of off grid locations where you can put in a gravity fed system, but the government is meddling in everything.
Nice for the most part, but they could have put in an elevator cage or at least fixed and repainted the equipment trolley connected to the overhead hoist system.
And the laundry room. What a tripping hazard. Should have decked at least over all the concrete pedestals.
Wonder what they have for an emergency gen system?
Yeah, kinda neat and quaint to us cold war veterans, but practicality must be obeyed. Dig it yourself for true opsec, if the Hamas lads can do it, any anons can. Stay off radar scopes of all outsiders, avoid tax assessors and snooping bureaucrats, no progress videos posted to your social media for likes, be secretive like your life depends on it kind of seriousness. If the work load and conditions are any better than Charlie Bronson had it in the great escape, this would be an “easy dig”. Undergrounding may be the way of the future. Avoid those d.e.w. beams and stay frosty whilst tunneling down there.
Price jump from $1.4m to $2.0m. Really?
Need to buy some of the surrounding land and figure out how to make it blend in. Right now it is very obvious where the property lines are. Maybe remove the building, and move the entrance elsewhere, with a tunnel to get to the facility. Is that farmland around it? Rent the surface ground to the farmer? Where did they hide that water tank?
Not impressed with the electrical lines stapled to the ceilings for the lights.
How close is this to the New Madrid earthquake fault center? I see that what is now listed for seismic ratings of that ‘quake doesn’t seem to correspond to what I’ve seen before. Now it’s claimed to only be a 7.4, when it shook Boston MA enough to break things. Changed the location of the river by 6 miles, etc. Changed the topography of 50k square miles.
