    If you’re the kind of person who has a backroom stock’s worth of batteries, flashlights, canned food, and clean water just in case , than Sotheby’s has the perfect home for you! This 195-acre property in the middle of a Saranac state park is being sold to highest bidder by the International Realty arm of the auction house, and it’s an impressive lot. Your own missile silo? Check! A tarmac and airplane hanger on your estate? Check! Two-thousand pound blast doors? Do we even need to answer that?

    The former former launch control center was built by the U.S. military and is 9 stories…although only one of them happens to be above ground. Let’s take a look!
