I immediately contacted the owners, who graciously provided me with a tour which I am thrilled to present below. Why would you need a 2,000 pound steel blast door in the middle of the Adirondacks?īecause this particular house was built on the site of a 9-story Cold War-era Atlas F underground missile launch site – and it’s still there:īackstory: I was in upstate New York over Christmas break when I read an article in the local paper about a man who had purchased a decommissioned 1960’s missile launch site in 1995, built a few houses and an airstrip on the property, and was now looking to sell it ( $750k and it’s yours! click here!), or perhaps lease it for film production use. …leading to a 2,000 pound steel blast door: …revealing a long staircase surrounded by cement walls…
If you were to enter the correct keycode, the door would swing open… It’s about then you might notice the keypad on the wall beside the door, and perhaps become curious about what was on the other side. But if you were to try the door, you’d find it locked. Just about the last thing you’d notice is this door:Īfter all, it seems like nothing other than a closet, or maybe a door to the basement.
#MISSLE SILO HOME WINDOWS#
…with enormous windows offering breathtaking views of the surrounding Saranac Valley: Inside, the spacious living room is indeed a cozy place to escape the winter’s cold… When you first see it in the distance, you wouldn’t think it anything other than a picturesque home in the Adirondacks:Īs you head for the door, chopped wood piled high around the porch almost invites you in to warm up over a roaring fire. As always, all pictures are my own work, and I don’t think you’ll find a tour like this anywhere else. Quick note: Though you may have read about this property before, most articles have simply reprinted the same stock real estate photos over and over.
