We’re Not in Kansas Anymore

What’s up, friends?

Today’s home is less of a single-family home and more of a second home. Or a secondary living vessel in the event of an international catastrophe. This is because the property includes owning an old missel silo, base, and bunker.

If the world ever descends into such a state of madness that the scope of owning this fortress becomes useful, I hope I’m not around for it. 

Located on 23 acres of secluded land in rural Kansas, this 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom, and 1 15,000 sq. ft. underground compound holds a $749,000 price tag.

Inside, the listing called these “modern living quarters”. And while they have modern elements, it looks as if you asked an AI generator to make a present-day house in a past-model space.

Wait, I actually have another joke: it looks as if someone ran out money while furnishing this space so they took as many free samples as they could, and stitched them to the floor. This way it looks “of the time” but something is a bit off.

Also, I find it eerie to place giant glass panes into a room with no windows. It’s like a bad reminder that we’re trapped in the middle of nowhere.

This ladder takes the phrase “climbing into bed” a bit too literally.

Heading outside of the living quarters, let’s list the precautionary features of this home:

1250 ft. Airstrip

What does a modern person need that for? To jet away at a moment’s notice? I guess you could keep the plane cozy in your literal bunker. 

10 acres of chain link, barbed wire fence around the property’s perimeter

Thank goodness for the fence -now zombies and the mailman can’t get in! I wonder if a golf cart is included with this (sort of) estate because I wouldn’t want to walk to the front gate to receive my Amazon packages.

Underground compound

Yes, it’s real. And, yes, it’s huge.

Yearning to enter? We’ll take the scenic route…

Remember those eclectic floor tiles that we drew conclusions to a lack of funding? Well, if that didn’t convince you, the underground’s innards will:

Now, I’m no architect, but if this is a secure structure, why is the floor all wet?

Shoutout to the broken (slanted) table! It’s persevering during a difficult time (i.e. neglect).

Oh, look! An unfinished active construction site with complimentary empty beer cans. It feels so cozy in here!

What I still find confusing: the reason why someone has (partially) remodeled this place to market it as a home and doomsday palace. Why not try to sell it to a construction company or something?

I understand that the editing on this image is meant to highlight how large this property is. Still, given its history in a current context… it looks like the apocalypse took its toll on all surrounding land and now only the missile silo oasis stands.

And I’m not sure how I feel about that.

See you next week,
