Where can you buy and live in a Titan 1 Missile Base here in Washington state? eBay, naturally (also described at themissilebase.com), if you’ve got an extra 1.5 million bones laying around.

Or rather $300,000 USD down and the rest within 3 years at 7% interest. There are 16 buildings to choose from, according to the eBay ad Q&A text:

The Power Dome alone is 125′ in diameter with about a 65′ center ceiling. That’s more than 12,000 square feet of open space. You could literally build any type of typical house INSIDE the Power Dome - if that was what you wanted to do. OR You could remodel all or part of the Control Dome, which itself is a 100′ diameter two story dome containing over 7800 square feet in the first floor alone. OR you could decide to live in one of the THREE, four story equipment terminal buildings that contain about 1200 square feet of floor space on EACH floor!! OR you could build an apartment in the AIR INTAKE BUILDING, which OVERLOOKS the Power Dome so you could have an UNDERGROUND APARTMENT WITH A VIEW!! The Air Intake Building is 60′ in diameter with about a 20′ high ceiling!! That works out to about 2800 square feet of living space. OR you could choose to live in one or BOTH of the Antenna SILOS - They are 30′ in diameter with about a 40′ ceiling ON THE FIRST FLOOR! The lower level is also 30′ in diameter with about a 20′ ceiling. ADDITIONALLY, if you chose to live in one or both of the Antenna Silos, you could retrofit the ANTENNA SILO - SILO DOORS - each weighing about 50 tons - with a new hydraulic opening system and then you could have your own push button 100-ton opening skylight. And if you really wanted to go whole hog, you could live in the bottom of one of the 155’ tall MISSILE SILOS and retrofit the 150 ton SILO DOORS so you could push a button and open them up – 155’ above the floor!!

As I perused the ad, I thought about the movie War Games with Mathew Broderick. Greetings, Professor Falkin.

Don’t get too excited now, most the 1950s era equipment has been removed when it was declassified and decommissioned and the ad admits some work would be needed. Unlike other Titan facilities which are badly rusted or under water, this one is dry.

This was the former Larson Air Force Base Complex 1A Titan ICBM Facility and is located between Moses Lake and Ritzville. No address is listed in the ad but the Google map above shows the general surrounding area. Hat tip to thinkorthwim.
