$5.9M Luxury Bunker for Sale in Vegas
If you’re a millionaire survivalist or a real estate investor, there’s no better way to spice up your portfolio while hedging your bet for doomsday than this. It’s an old-school bomb shelter converted into a full-on subterranean home 26 feet beneath Spencer St. For the non-locals, this is approximately 2.5 miles east of the world-famous Las Vegas Strip. This place is the perfect retreat for anyone coming back from EDC because of its amusement park-style décor.
Today on Rob Raskins’ Millionaire Survivalist, we’ll look into the latest bit of luxury real estate to hit the market, which offers an engaging time-capsule experience to anyone who enters while also offering additional survivalist options for anyone in Vegas.
Life Underground
This 15,000 square foot bomb shelter was converted into a luxury home in 1978 by Jerry Henderson, owner of Underground World Homes. Jerry was a self-described subterranean living enthusiast and investor with multiple underground houses in numerous real estate markets. At $5.9M, this particular location comes furnished with a pool, a jacuzzi, a casita, a putting green, and a 500-foot-long mural of an outdoor landscape to give the illusion of being outside. Add to this programmed time-of-day lighting, and you’ll enjoy an anxiety-free luxury living experience.
Even more interesting is the means of entrance. At street level, you enter a building structure at 3970 Spencer St. and take the elevator 26 feet down. When you get there, you see a surreal, almost cartoony version of the standard American home from the late 70s.
Of course, it’s still decorated with Vegas in mind, which is why it has a disco dancefloor instead of a concrete patio. But, despite these superficial differences, the whole place has been designed to survive underground for long periods without losing one’s nerves. As a result, it’s a perfect example of post-modern thinking as the classic cold war bomb shelter is repurposed way before the prepper’s ruled the world and before the millionaires were among them.
Given the current state of things at the national level, it’s no wonder the owners of this property felt the timing was right to reveal it to the public, especially given that the original occupants are now deceased. This is a one-of-a-kind offering in Vegas and a chance to be a part of history AND the future.
As a local, I can tell you that the options are limitless as all the heavy lifting has been done. The amount of effort and expense to create this bomb shelter must’ve been a fortune, given that the caliche rock beneath the topsoil here requires the use of explosives and/or a diamond-headed drill bit. The extra effort and expense to convert this into a livable, habitable space that can be legally considered housing must’ve been another fortune.
The next occupant could keep it with only superficial updates or consider taking it to the next level. Considering where it is, this could even mean a nightclub or hotel. The options are literally limitless. One thing’s for sure, someone will snatch this up if they haven’t already. And that someone is likely to be primed to showcase their vision for the next big thing in Vegas.
