An iconic underground home built to survive nuclear war has gone on sale for a staggering $8.5million (£6.35m).

The sprawling estate – just minutes from the Las Vegas Strip – was created at the height of the Cold War as the ultimate atomic-age hideaway.

Built in the 1970s, the bizarre property is part survival shelter, part luxury retreat, complete with five bedrooms, six bathrooms, and over 14,000 sq. ft. of living space.

Below ground, residents can enjoy a swimming pool, putting green, dance floor, bar, multiple saunas and even a faux sky, which mimics a full day/night cycle, as reported by Luxury Property News.

The retro interiors remain untouched, with hand-painted murals, sculpted trees and kitschy décor that give the place an eerie time-capsule vibe.

Known as the Las Vegas Underground House, it’s the world’s largest “Atomitat” – short for atomic habitat – and was once billed as the ultimate way to wait out Armageddon in style.

The estate also includes a second home above ground, offering extra privacy while keeping its subterranean secret hidden below.

Listing agent Holly Erker of IS Luxury says the home could serve as a museum, filming location, event venue or private retreat for anyone looking to own one of the most unusual properties in America.
