The Underground House at 3970 Spencer St, is mostly located 26-feet below the ground and was once a bomb shelter that has been turned into luxury home.<\/p>\n
Covering 15,000-square feet, the property contains a pool, jacuzzi, casita, 500-feet of landscape murals, putting green and time-of-day lighting settings to copy the world outside the ceiling has twinkling stars to imitate the night sky.<\/p>\n
It also comes with artificial trees, faux rocks and life-like scenery.<\/p>\n
The main living space is accessed by an elevator from the structure above ground.<\/p>\n
When you go down there, youre in a capsule and go back in time, Tee Thompson, a member of the secretive human life extension-enthusiast group Society for the Preservation of Near Extinct Species, toldthe Las Vegas Review-Journalin 2018 while living in the space on behalf of the society. I get to choose whether I want it day, night, dusk or dawn When it is dark, it is pitch black, and its very peaceful and quiet. I dont get to hear the outside elements. Its beautiful being down here. If youre not focused on what youre doing, you lose track of time.<\/p>\n
The unusual home, situated 2.5miles east of the Strip, was built for personal use by investor Jerry Henderson, a subterranean living enthusiast, in 1978.<\/p>\n
Henderson, who owned a company called Underground World Homes, also had a 45,000-square-foot underground home in Colorado.<\/p>\n
He built two bedrooms and an 800-square-foot caretaker house into his sunless Las Vegas bunker, where he lived with his wife Mary until his death in 1983.<\/p>\n
When Henderson died, Mary moved upstairs into the townhouse she built above the bunker and lived there until she passed away in 1989.<\/p>\n
Following their deaths both properties were foreclosed on, the Review-Journal says.<\/p>\n
The bunker was then bought for $1.15m by the Society in 2014, which made several renovations to the property.<\/p>\n
Take an elevator ride down to an underground utopia, advertised the current listing, which also features a number of digital renderings showing a couple standing in front of the underground houses front doors, waving, the city street and sky above them.<\/p>\n
