Today, we have a bunker for sale. It's not as interesting as a decommissioned missile tower. "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." Located in Polo, Missouri, 35 min. from Kansas City, it has 4bds, 2ba, $2M.
The entrance hall has an industrial look, but they tired to make the home look elegant.
It has 2 massive 3,000 pound blast doors, 2.5-foot-thick concrete walls, additional layers of earth & EMP-resistant copper shielding, plus an emergency escape hatch and a towering 177-ft communication tower.
it's roomy- look at the size of the living room. One must wonder why people decorate these with traditional furniture. It needs colorful, modern stuff.
There's a bar for entertaining.
One of the bathrooms.
This is a soundproof room- it's not as if there are any neighbors around, though.
They have a home office here.
Laundry and stuff. The self-sufficient home has a private water well, a pump, and a 10,000-gallon stainless steel water storage tank, all connected to a Water Filtration System.
And, here's your new hobby- it's a glass blowing studio. I wonder if the owner would teach the new owner how to use it.
Looks like a massive air system.
Above the workshop is a large loft area.
There's a family room- notice the windows above, they are for some of the bedrooms. There's also supposed to be a home theater room, but it's not shown.
On the 2nd fl. is the 2nd bath. Not liking the hole in the wall behind the toilet.
This is the kitchen.
This is an odd place to locate the kitchen w/all this other equipment.
Through the kitchen you can see the upstairs living room.
You can see that the kitchen is on the other side.
The bedrooms are off a hall off of the living room.
The bedrooms.
This area serves as a closet.
The plot of land is 10.5 acres and the real estate description suggests that you can built your dream home on it, over the bunker.

see i'm always thinking on this bunker pic. you're buried alive in this tomb, physically separate from the rest of normal society in your cold war era military facility silly little dank basement. literally the men who ran this place are long dead and gone. swallowed up by the same violence ruling over your lives, their deaths haunting every corner of this place. before, you were wandering along society's margins and its liminal zones (tbh you're still doing that). but now you have your own base of operations! live long enough as a cowboy see yourself turn into the cia

Okay I do love Bobby's but at least for Dean, he considered the bunker HIS home, as opposed to Bobby's home. He had his own space and decorated it the way he wanted, the Dean cave was full of things he adored, the first thing he did when he got there was making a home cooked meal, and spent a lot of the time just nesting and feeling like it was his own space. I'm not saying Bobby's wasn't a wonderful place for him or that he didn't feel safe, but I think just internally he wasn't able to call it a home the way he does the bunker. And I hear all the arguments that the bunker is underground and doesn't have light but it can still be a home if you feel safe and if you feel like it's your own. It doesn't have to be a permanent home but he still felt like it was his home. Anyways I love the bunker as the first home Dean's ever owned <33

Someone converted this 1942 WWII coastal battery bunker on Sullivan's Island, SC and wants $5.3M for the 4bd, 3ba home. It has a lot of history: Part of the Harbor Defense of Charleston in World War II, the Battery 520 of the Marshall Military Reservation is a sub-post of Fort Moultrie built upon the ruins of the Revolutionary War and U.S. Civil War posts.
It's just one block away from the coast on one of the most desired residential beaches in South Carolina.
I mean, why buy one of these homes?
When you can live here, only a block away?
So, let's take a look inside.
Wow. Extreme open concept.
Wait. What's up with the floor in the entrance? Is it staying that way? It's just dirt and broken bricks. I'm gonna say that the light fixture on the right is the dining area.
Maybe this is the casual every day dining room? It's right outside the kitchen.
And, this is the galley kitchen. The upper cabinets look homemade. I guess the kitchen isn't finished yet, but the counter that's done doesn't look like granite or anything that would be in a $5M home.
Fancy light fixtures going down a vast, windowless hallway with a cement floor and some kind of future built-in. I think that these are going to be bedrooms & baths off to the left. They don't have many photos.
Looks like this is going to be the front porch.
Another part of the structure. Don't know what they're going to do with it.
I doubt if this scene has anything to do with the property- it must be a part of the other community.
I think that they would've been better off waiting until it was finished and landscaped before they put it on the market. There's a nice anchor by the flag. I assume that they're going to make a nice area there, but who knows.
