ATLAS-F
MISSILE SILO HOME
Saranac,
NY - Back in the late 1950's and
early 1960's when the Cold War was
hot, the U.S. government built
hundreds of Atlas-F missile silos
(for 18 Million each in 1961) to
prepare the country for an attack
that never came. Today, most of
these silos lie abandoned and filled
with water, monuments to governments
wastefulness and a bygone era.
But now, thanks to two
entrepreneurial cousins, Bruce
Francisco and Gregory Gibbons, one of
these silos located in beautiful
Adirondack State Park near Lake
Placid is finding new life as a $2.3
million luxury home with its own
private airport.
Surely one of the most unique real
estate properties you could own, the
missile silo home sits on 105 acres
of manicured grounds, forest and
trails. Above ground, it
features a hangar and spacious open
living room and fireplace with wrap
around porch. Below ground, and
accessible via stairs from above
ground home in what was once the
launch control center, now is a two
level, 3 bedroom 2-1/2 bath with open
living area and kitchen adjoined by a
spiral staircase. Huge doors
open to a large tunnel that accesses
the silo with an additional 20,000
square feet of useable space with
unlimited possibilities. The
perfect getaway home, it has its own
direct runway access, its climate
controlled and is capable of
withstanding a nuclear hit.
