I Hope This Is Not The Last Resort

A former US intercontinental nuclear missile base - with a network of underground tunnels and silos - is on sale on eBay for 750,000 pounds. Located in a remote corner of Washington state, the 56-acre site is being marketed as a "gorgeous" property and potential resort. Bari Hotchkiss bought the base 10 years ago from owners who obtained it in the 1970s after the US government deemed the Titan missile system obsolete. "The only limit is imagination. We've always wanted to see it turn into a summer camp or resort camp," he said. The sales pitch describes the buildings as "castles of the 20th century".
