when buying a house you have to look past the easy to change stuff, like the kitchen.
Its totally odd ball but if you want some where very private in that area then that is pretty dang cool. The way it feels kinda normal with the fake grass all around the house… its works
It almost feels like the way a lot of map makers for mid-’90s FPS games would make “house” maps in engines not really meant for that kind of locale. Think Doom or Duke3D. They’d basically make a relatively small map with a skybox and mural-type walls to sorta fake being outside. It was about as convincing as this, but it was still fun.
This is our bunker where we totally didn’t kidnap an old artist from Texas, she lived here for three years, completely of her own will, in this un-creepy house-within-an-underground house! And she made these totally normal paintings! See what a normal life we lead? Look at the dance floor, we have fun!
its a neat gimmick. but very impractical for daily life and too expensive for the house your actually getting. the only thing this house is good for is Airbnb. and zombie apocalypse of course
This was built by an Avon company Exec and he and his wife lived in the bunker year round as their full time house. they did go out like normal people, they just felt that if a war happened, they didn’t want to be caught out side the bunker at night or when they were living their normal lives or so they treated it like their home.
Man, imagine living down there for years if the cold war ever did happen. I feel like you’d start to go mad and tear away the fake painted landscapes, and the creepy painted animals would start to drive you insane
I used to work right across the street from that house. It was for sale while I worked there and we called just because we were curious how much it was (everyone knew it had a huge underground area) and it was over a million dollars.
I’ve replaced 8 of the Air Conditioners here within the last year. The new owner decorated the home with lots of 60/70’s era furniture and it looks a whole lot better than in the video.
Paid some lady to paint the whole mural for roughly three years, stayed in the place for 2 years….all that time, probably free rent, and all I can think of is how quickly I’d paint over it and just setup a bunch of projectors to play nature videos on the walls.
I mean if I can afford the underground house, why bother with a tacky three year commissioned mural? Seems like the painter took her time for free rent, likely got paid for it after it was finished too.
Wait how does that make any sense as a fallout shelter/apocalypse house? Looks like it relies on way too much water and electricity to be practical in that kind of situation. I’m curious what the utilities are like behind it all and if you could actually survive down there without the grid.
I like how this is basically a cold war nuke/zombie shelter, but the Real Estate guy is trying to upsell it as some type of luxury getaway at a bargain. Imagine the maintenance on a place like this. Still pretty cool though.
If nuclear war happens I kind of follow the Joe Rogan philosophy.
Why spend millions of dollars to try and survive the initial blasts so you can survive in a fallout like scenario where you are scavaging for and fighting for survival against ghouls and other tribes.
I’d rather just be vaporized in the initial blasts than have to defend my family from roving bands of mad Max rapists every day.
Isn’t this the house from Blast from the Past?
“It’s a bargain at 1.7” yeah, it’s a bargain of ‘nobody will buy this damned thing, why do we still have it?’
That kitchen…
It’s a neat concept but the house itself it extremely dated, tacky and over priced
You are supposed to hide the vents in apocalypse shelters. It keeps the survivors from finding your hiding spot.
Edit: having said that…. really cool *bunker*.

That dude looks like Ben Carson
I remember seeing this on Ripley Believe it or Not.
So who owned Gulf Stream and sat on the board of Avon in the 1970s?

Feels very Fallout New Vegas, almost same era of kitschiness.
That poor salesman though, you can tell behind his eyes he’s like “what the fuck have I gotten myself into.”
This would make a good multiplayer FPS map

It’s some fucking fallout shit right there

Good god that house is ugly as sin.
Built by [Girard B. Henderson](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Girard_B._Henderson#Underground_living) who also passed away in the house.
It seems unwise to have a barbecue in an enclosed underground space.
You can’t exactly have an open air exchange with the outside world in the event of a nuclear apocalypse.
This house was also in an episode of CSI Las Vegas (for some kind of kidnapping thing, similar to the plot of [10 Cloverfield Lane](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1179933/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_11) without the aliens.

Porno film paradise
Uhh what happens if the power goes out and you are down there
This is very vaporwave
All for the low price of 5000 caps.
Perfect for basement dwellers!
Is the guy speaking Ben Carson’s brother?
So, what’s in the above-ground part? Is it just a big hollow structor with stairs and an elevator to get underground?
edit: So it seems you enter the house through a fucking “rock”?? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EcjhomICAUw#t=36s
1.7 is a very damn good deal. Sign me up.
The way he talks makes him sound like he’s making it all up as he goes along.
I used to work by that house. The neighborhood isn’t that great.
Neat
I bet it smells terrible.

Murals took 3 years to paint. <looks like shit>
Where is that background music from?

I love it, wish i could do the same
Vault-tec is really stepping their game up
I mean it is neat and all, but if fall out did happen, how long do they really think they can last under there?
that shits cray

I’m pretty sure they talked about this house in the Ocean’s Eleven remake special features. Like the cast and crew hung out there.
I airBnb Every single week in Vegas… Please turn this into a BnB…..PLease!!!
This looks like something from a nightmare

This looks really familiar; I have a vague memory of seeing this place in a movie or TV program. Anyone know?
3970 Spencer St, Las Vegas, NV 89119
Someone should turn this into a literal underground casino
I want to know who the guy was that built it in 1978.
Do you think it’s on Air B&B?
Is that Vault 22
I could see Shia hanging a flag down there at some point.
Wasn’t this location used to film an episode of the 1990s reboot of “The Outer limits”
EDIT: Found the episode https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bits_of_Love

How are you protected from things outside if the air is vented from outside in?

$1.7m! That really does seem too cheap.
