Three-bedroom house with its own Cold War era BUNKER goes up for sale in Florida for just $260,000

An unassuming house with its own Cold War era bunker has gone up for sale for just $260,000.

Located in Hudson, Florida, the three-bedroom, one-bathroom property boasts 1,208-square-feet of living space.

But its most unusual feature is its secret underground Cold War-era bunker that is 22-feet below the earth - deep enough to survive the initial shockwave from a nuclear blast.

The bunker also has power, water and equipment, including intake and exhaust fans with charcoal filters that vent out to the roof.

Below ground, the bunker itself (pictured) is fitted out with its own bathroom, kitchen, and sleep space which has a 'rocking' waterbed 

Sitting on a third-acre lot, the main home comes with a four-car garage, chicken coop and two storage sheds.

The house layout above ground includes a living room, galley kitchen, back room that could be a den or dining room, covered deck, one bathroom and three bedrooms - one of which has a not-so-secret passageway to the bunker.

The sellers bought the place in 2021 but, before that, it had not been sold since 1984.

Agent Sue Ellis, with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Florida Properties Group–Clearwater, who holds the listing, commented on the unique property. 

Sue shared: 'It's a 1963-era fallout shelter, bunker, bomb shelter, whatever you want to call it.

'The walls are five feet-thick concrete walls. It's still the original equipment.   

'It's kind of untouched. It's crazy. It's basic and unassuming, which makes the underground bunker a bit surprising.

'It's really spacious. I didn't feel claustrophobic. The ceilings are high. There's plenty of space.' 

She noted that the bunker doesn't need to remain in its current state and also explained how she first heard about the property.   

'The current owners found me because I sold a house a few years ago that had an underground bunker, and it got some TV play here locally,' she shared.

'I opened them up and looked down and thought, "I'm not sure I want to go down there, but I did."

'I've never seen a waterbed in one of my listings. I don't know how they even got it down there.'
