Description:
ATLAS E MISSILE SITE HOME CONVERSION
FOR SALE

This Atlas E Missile Site is located about two miles southwest of Kimball Nebraska 69145 on 18 acres. Kimball is remotely located in the western panhandle of Nebraska about 60 miles east of Cheyenne Wyoming.

GEOGRAPHICAL
There are several distinct and desirable characteristics about this particular property and its location. This property is centrally located in the USA. This area is sparsely populated. It is far from any high population and military target areas. Denver CO is about a three hour drive southwest and Lincoln NE is about 380 miles east. It is not earthquake prone and tornadoes are not a threat for the underground structure. It is a dry climate and is not located in a flood area. The elevation is about 4,930 feet.

MISSILE CONCENTRATION
Kimball is known as the Missile Capital of the USA. It is believed that if a threat response caused a launching of USA minuteman and/or peacekeeper missiles, our missiles in the three-state area would be launched and gone before the enemy’s missiles could reach here. Therefore, it is believed that this area would not be a target since the US missiles would already be out of the ground. Kimball and the surrounding area is sparsely populated and is not believed to have a tactical or strategic military target significance to the enemy. It is not a Command and Control Center like NORAD. There are about 200 Minuteman and Peacekeeper missiles in the adjacent three-state area (Wyoming, Nebraska, Colorado).

SURVIVABILITY AND DEFENDABILITY
There is a large pipe fence with large dual swinging gates at the outer entrance of the 18 acres of property. A 9’ tall military chain link compound fence with three strands of barbed wire at the top make the buildings defendable. Sensors provide early notification to an inside computer of breaches/intruders at the compound fence gate and driveway.

The building entrance blast doors are made of heavy gauge steel, which make it nearly impossible to gain unauthorized entrance. The Atlas E missile site construction required 1,062,000 cubic yards of earth moving, 139,000 cubic yards of reinforced concrete and 27,840 tons of structural steel. (Source: "The Military Engineer", No. 362, November-December). The underground structure was designed to withstand a 1-Megaton blast up to 1.6 miles away. The walls and ceilings are 18” to 24” thick constructed of hardened reinforced concrete. This is a hardened underground structure of about 19604 square feet; adding the above ground structures makes a total of approximately 29,352 square feet. The complex sets on top of a hill and provides views in all directions.

Ductwork and a plenum exist for installing NBC (Nuclear, Biological and Nuclear) filters. (http://www.flanders-csc.com/products.htm) Outside air is brought in with the existing 3/4 HP motor/fan to create a positive overpressure during threat situations. A UVC light can be installed in the plenum/ducting to protect against biological viruses and bacteria. (http://www.pureairetech.com/products.html) This combination protects the living area including bedrooms, bathroom, kitchen and living room.

Internal self-reliant equipment includes two redundant 12 kWh diesel generators, two 4KW inverters, two independent sets of battery banks, and a wind generator. Pellet stoves and solar heat provide heat and solar assisted hot water.

The property and surrounding property are defendable and viewable with a high end outside security camera that can pan, tilt and zoom with inside controls. There are no trees on the property and the ground cover is grassland. The property sets in a cow pasture with the nearest neighbor about a half-mile away. Kimball is about three miles away.

PEACETIME
The underground structure provides a relatively constant temperature and humidity. Without any heat the ground temperature is about 52 F in the winter and 55 F in the summer. The humidity stays near 60%, which is healthy for the human body. Fresh air is circulated in and out of the living area constantly. The 15’ high ceilings and the large rooms make it spacious and appeals to the psychic.

The flame pit has been converted into a large greenhouse with an automatic watering system to multiple shelf levels mounted on a 45-degree slope that creates varying temperature environments for plants and trees. This provides for a self-reliant garden capability. This hardened structure provides an ideal property for protection from natural and man made disasters like tornadoes and civil violence.

This property is remote. Cheyenne Wyoming is 60 miles west; Scottsbluff NE is 40 miles north; Sidney NE is 40 miles east; Sterling CO is 66 miles southeast. Kimball intersects I 80 and Highway 71, which are major truck routes. These main roads are about 2 miles from the Missile Site. There is an airport about two miles from the Missile Site. Kimball has most services and products one needs to live in peacetime. Kimball has about 2500 people and the county has about 4000 people that primarily raise cattle, farm and have oil interests. http://www.ci.kimball.ne.us/

In peacetime a business could be set up using the existing structures. The two mobile homes could provide office space. The two Quonsets (8,000 sq. ft total) would make a good manufacturing facility. The underground buildings would protect and store finished goods. Semi-trucks can enter the two Quonsets and underground structures.

CONVERSION
The conversion of this Missile Site is extensive and has taken about 5 years to complete. It has been converted to provide for self-sufficiency and self-reliance for peacetime and survival situations. The food flow starts at the greenhouse and continues to the canning kitchen, food cellar, kitchen pantry and finally the kitchen. There is a 16,000-gallon underground water tank in-line with the well that can be pumped if the well fails. The property has the standard utilities plus solar heat and auxiliary emergency wind power. Two sets of UPS Batteries, inverters and two backup generators ensure power availability when rural power fails. The Site is under computer control and is voice commanded. The two 40’ X 100’ outside concrete pads have Steel Master Quonsets on them. The Atlas E structure is more desirable than the Atlas D or F for converting into a home. The Atlas D complex is above ground and is exposed. The Atlas F complex has a small two story Control Center structure (2363 Sq. Ft of living area) and a 52' wide by 174' deep vertical silo which is very difficult to convert into a functional home. The Atlas E has the most practical underground square feet for conversion.

PRICE
An Atlas E Missile Site cost the government about $3.5M in 1960 dollars and cost about $25M to construct, equip and operate according to The Kansas City Star, Tuesday, December 26, 1995 article "Turning swords into plowshares". If one were to build a comparable structure today it would cost at least in the tens of millions of dollars. This site is a custom conversion home and has many custom furnishings.

The price is $25,000,000 USD. If you are serious about purchasing an Atlas E Missile Site then we recommend you plan a trip to see the whole package. It will take about a day to cover everything you need to see and learn. To see some pictures go to http://allthelistings.com/home/details/7857
