A decommissioned Cold War relic, the Atlas-F missile complex — built in 1962 — was likely to be destined for a lifetime of dusty solitude. Until YouTuber Andrew Flair had another idea. The content creator — who has 2.71-million-followers on social media — purchased the complex and transformed it into his own “doomsday bunker.” Now the 6-acre complex is on the market.
“Heres an opportunity to own a piece of cold-war military history and the ultimate survivalist retreat, weekend escape, or perhaps an Airbnb,” Realtor.com’s online listing stated. The missile silo is for sale at $750,000.
“This decommissioned Atlas-F missile complex has been completely remodeled by YouTube influencer Andrew Flair of Fishing With Flair, with the addition of a full kitchen, three-quarter bath and LVP flooring throughout the first floor of the underground Launch Control Center,” the listing said.
The silo’s living space is 1,265 square feet, which equates to roughly $597 per square foot of “doomsday bunker” space.
“Complete with electricity, hot and cold running water, working septic system with lift station, and a water purification system,” the listing said. “Add a StarLink system (or similar) for communication, gaming and entertainment and you’ll have all the conveniences of home.”
If the silo’s renovated “man cave” on the first floor isn’t enough to wow potential buyers, there is also a second floor. However, it is unrenovated and in need of work. Above ground, the property offers 6.19 acres of fenced in land.
Realtor.com posted the unusual property listing on Instagram over the weekend, leading to a number of entertaining responses from fascinated onlookers.
“Is that a good price?” Ryan Stevenson commented. “Not sure how much missile silos are going for these days.”
“Perhaps if it looked more homey despite its nature, I’d consider it,” Nicole commented. “Having lived in OK for years, it would be fabulous to not worry about my house blowing away or any of our belongings being destroyed!”
