So within a few years the military decommissioned and abandoned most of the missile silosand then sold. Set on more than 19 forested acres within Adirondack State Park, the Silo Home is the architectural brainchild of two cousins who set about converting the abandoned 1950’s nuclear launch pad. However, almost as soon as many of these structures were built, they were obsolete, as newer, smaller, and equally unnecessary mobile missiles were put into service. Just down the road from his current effort, Hall's new project will likely cost would-be buyers between $50 and $60 million per unit, according to CNET.

Seven entire floors are dedicated to residential condos which, according to CNET, "feel like units in a new apartment complex in San Francisco or Manhattan."

The exact location of the hiding place is secret but here is what we know so far: originally built during the Cold War, the bunker has been retrofitted with nine-foot-thick reinforced concrete walls that protect a pet park, a swimming pool with water slide, a climbing wall, a food store, mechanical rooms, medical facilities, a gym, a sauna, a library, a cinema and a bar. A former Atlas Missile silo in the middle of rural Kansas, this 200-feet-underground bunker has been turned into a luxury condominium complex with a price tag to match. If you're panicking about a possible apocalypse and you've got a million dollars saved up, you might want to consider investing in the Survival Condo.
