Situated in the Ozark Mountains in Parthenon, Arkansas, approximately 12 miles from the Buffalo National River, this four-bedroom property originally served as a safety zone during the early 1980s amid the looming threat of nuclear war with the Soviet Union.
Over the years, the shelter has undergone extensive renovations, including a recent three-year project costing $1 million (£787,278.99).
Today, it stands as a distinctive vacation home, offering a once-in-a-lifetime experience. From the exterior, the cave presents a porch, sitting area, and front door, resembling any other house. Yet, upon entry, you’ll be captivated by the exposed cave walls, featuring steps leading up to the kitchen and down to a sitting area.
The kitchen boasts modern amenities like an island, double oven, and overhead lighting, accompanied by a spacious dining table and wooden bar.
Moving into the living room, you’ll discover two spacious, comfortable sofas and a TV mounted to the cave wall. A journey down the hallway leads to a bathroom and two smaller bedrooms. On the upper level, two additional bedrooms await, with the master bedroom standing out.
This stunning space features a large circular bed adorned with dangling fairy lights, creating the most enchanting room in the cave. For those seeking fresh air, outdoor activities abound, from exploring the woods and nearby rivers to strolling through gardens.
Conveniently situated, the location offers a short drive to tourist-friendly destinations like Eureka Springs, Arkansas, and the ‘Live Entertainment Capital of the World’ Branson, Missouri. A night’s stay in this unique bomb shelter comes with a price tag of $2,200 (£1,735).
