Swayze designed a house for my Grandparents in the late 60's. My grandfather was a wealthy rancher/oilman from Texas. It is a 5,000 sq ft home built into the side of a hill. It cost $450,000 back then. I see so many similar design features in this home.
A friend of my bought a home in the early 2000's very similar to what your describing, It was sold by one of the grandchildren who had inherited the home, and they only knew the surface information about the home Ie the age of the roof, wiring and plumbing etc. It passed inspection and he went through with the purchase and closed on it, prior to moving in he had theouse gutted to upgrade it to a degree. While tearing the carpets torn out he and his brother who was helping him to save on some of the costs they came across a hidden door in the floor of the master bedroom. Intrigued they grabbed a couple of flashlights and went down to have a look. They discovered an underground bunker that was linked to the home by a lengthy tunnel that took them to the center of the 12,000 plus acre property which my friend had wanted to turn into a horse ranch. Talk about a hidden gem, it was stocked with all sorts of survival items from its own well to air filtration and circulation and had obviously been upgraded over the years to keep it current till the early 90's tech wise had a generator and plenty of fuel. To date the only ones who know about it as far as he knows is his brother and myself who have helped him check it out and bring the "stock" up to date and made certain modifications. The grandfather who must have been the one to either inherited it from his father or had it built was very smart and extremely covert about it's instillation that was obvious upon inspection. There is no way your getting away with building something similar without rising some eyebrows and more than a few red flags today or in the last twenty years for that matter.
No blast doors, no gas tight doors, no nbc system... mud room at surface level as well as filtrations system, no escape tunnel... I mean, it seems more a simple underground house than a bunker
I agree, I mean a fireplace in a bunker is a problem waiting to happen, not to mention giving off smoke signals. The developer didn't do his homework on the science of blastproofing or nuclear winter...
@@SoalisAI, to be fair, though, the concept of nuclear winter wasn't well-known or seriously considered in the 1960's. It wasn't until the late 1970's/early 80's that scientists began theorizing on nuclear winter. I do take your point about there being no blast/gas tight doors, no antechamber/decontamination room, all which I find deeply concerning. Without these, frankly, the rest of the shelter, however awesome it otherwise is, is doomed to failure.
The thermal efficiency is probably great. Also the sound deadening would be great also! Minus the possibility of ground water being getting in, I think it is awesome!
If it's available, you should DEFINITELY buy it! But I believe I'd reinforce the upper structure, and install a blast door inside the entrance at the bottom of the steps. And I would love to do a 30-day challenge in it! AFTER the mold issues were fixed.
Men efter en atom bomb så får du vistas 30-40 månader under mark innan det sista radioaktiva dammet lagt sig sedan har man 10 -30 års atom vinter dvs ingen sommar alls väl kyld planet 🙂 Det kan va något att prova 🙂

Imagine all the neighbours who called you nuts for years all lining up to be let in and getting snotty when told it's at capacity. You'd need a good door and being Texas probably some gun ports and arrow slits.
Or the neighbors who called you nuts for years, then after now World War 3 for decades, one day you want to sell and no one is buying. So you live out your old age and die there. And the neighbors still call you nuts.
That’s amazing! Thanks for sharing Ron. I was gifted an early 70’s microwave with a turn dial for a timer. In early 2000 it still worked better than any newer microwave of the day. It was built like a tank and weighed as much too lol.
I grew up in Plainview. It was a big deal when the house was built. My parents toured it, but I never did. Bill Hamman, the owner, owned a successful fabric shop downtown. My sister worked for him and learned that trade. A son (I think the oldest) was my classmate. It is not a surprise that the house was not abused. I don't know how long it has been since the family lived there or owned it.
What a great way to escape a noisy neighbour and there thumper music 🔊 . Or a great place to listen to your music till your ears bleed 👂🩸 and not be worried about annoying the neighbours.
The dessert would be the best option during an all out nuke war and invasion. Bring a shovel and a full military backpack learn to adapt to desserts…..
I have always wanted to live in an underground house. When I saw all those stairs, my first thought was how would you get an elderly person or a handicapped person or an injured person down all those stairs? The bunker definitely needs a cargo elevator. Also looks like there is only one way in and out of the bunker and not much to prevent a break-in from hostile people. The above ground part of the house looks flammable. If that part burned down, it would damage the air handling system and would make it easier to get inside the underground part. Not sure about the wisdom of having a fireplace underground. What would prevent infiltration of toxic gases, such CO if the whole neighborhood caught fire? And that very noticeable ventilation shaft in the side yard would be vulnerable to getting plugged up by a hostile group who wanted to kill the people in the bunker and loot the supplies. It looks like this underground house was designed to be a comfortable refuge from radioactive fallout but with no thought given to what the neighbors would do if they did not have their own fallout shelters and were determined to shelter in this underground house too. Clearly, this underground house was built for a very different time, when most people were more law-abiding and less likely to demand a share in what others have.
You are correct. People didn't worry about home break-ins back then. I remember my grandparents, who moved to the Amarillo/Canyon area to the north of Plainview back in the 50's, said they never had to worry about locking their doors at night.
*YESSSS!! A new video!! I love your videos Ron because it gives me the opportunity to see these wonderful bunkers I can only dream having. I'm a poor man but it is what it is. I'd like to just say THANK YOU for posting these video. It allows me to escape my world for a little bit. Cheers brother*
They are as good as most commercial doors nowadays, but not much of a bunker unless you are just looking to survive a surface blast many miles away from you. At least they have the right angle turn to cut the radiation from the surface would be better to have multiple turns however
I'd like to see a "house party" movie set in this house that has this underlying sense of tension and eventually reveals that they're underground partying out the apocalypse. Like they got the alert and went underground but don't know what has happened above ground. Near the end they go above ground and see the destruction, see the charred bones of neighbors who were trying to get in. Or maybe everything is fine?
Buy this, then reverse engineer it to make more with a modern twist ...could you imagine..this...but with modern tech...windows can be 4k Tv's decorated up to look like "windows" camera's outside for each "window" Natural looking lights, modern air systems and filtration and design. Perhaps find a way to make these houses affordable by just building down instead of up...ooooh in the midwest! Imagine having entire towns of these, a tornado overhead? no problem, just some crops gettin damage but everybody's safe! No damage!
That would be great idea. But it would have to be reinforced and if you removed one bit of the would even a small portion of it, then the bunker just lost its value. Now, replacing the wood wouldn't be a big issue as long as the wood could blend in with the old wood grain and tile
Did I miss it? I didn't see an air handling system to scrub out NBC contaminates and CO2. I also didn't see a blast door and right-hand turn to stop gamma radiation. Was this simply built as an underground home and not as a shelter?
I'd live permanently underground if it was this nice. As long as there are no mold issues. Solves a lot of problems. Heating, cooling, tornadoes, End of the World...
I would not feel safe in this if there was an actual war. The huge air tower in the yard is like a beacon saying, "come to my bunker". Interesting concept and definitely one could be comfortable in there.
@billburr5881 can't really do that now, being on youtube and airbnb. I understand, though, showing it as an idea to boost more thinking about having a bunker. But yes, the better idea is NOT to advertise your bunker home.
The power lines and plants are almost guaranteed to be destroyed after a nuclear war, even if some of them still work nobody will be there exposed to the radiation, he forgot to build a generator room
Buy it if the price is right. You could retrofit it to modern standards and flip it for a nice profit. The way things are headed it has to be a hot market now.
Just imagine you rent this for around $5,000 for the week then WW3 starts. Talk about getting your very own bunker for pennies on the dollar if you time it right.
Very interesting. Is there any off grid power and water? Not sure how practical this would be if something actually happened. Needs an updated air filtration system also.
A cool spacious shelter.i would make the entrance more secure with a set of steel reinforced doors or two on those stairs as I guess everyone in that neighborhood knows that bunker is there, amazing amount of space to live in though
They probably had less information back then, that's why the door was so weak. I love this video. A snapshot of time. That's so nice down there. You can't replace the historical significance of what's there. I think you'd have to determine what changes you'd have to make to bring it up to modern safety standards. Then decide if you want to buy it. But to me, it seems more like a "showplace". But most of the hard work is done (construction and digging). What remains are updates to code. An underground fireplace is just for show (I would think).
You should buy it and fix that door make it stronger Plus add 1 of your air filters to it. 30 day challenge. Hell, I'd love to do a year challenge in one of those.
10:42 I would do a one year challenge, easy peasy. Could even do it all by myself. Solitary is fun if the person is mentally 100% stable. 😊 Now you know who to look to when you attempt this at least 😉😉😉 (Me 😜)
Have you looked at a better sleeping system, well better than regular bunk beds? Like the sit up, triple stack beds Malpas beds used in submarines? They allow a sailor to sleep, read, study, store clothes and more.
I would buy it just as an investment! I question the doors and it being sealed totally from the outside. Updating that would not be worth the money. Restoring the things that are not in great shape makes way more sense. Just the old feel and esthetics make it cool as hell! Most of that could be made to work, if it doesn't already, and will last another 60 years!!
I'm a former serving Royal Marine Commando here in the UK. I have been looking at purchasing a cold war bunker here in the UK. Atlas, can you please make contact regarding supply and fitment for one of your bunkers here in the UK? Many thanks.
I would visit this house alot as a kid it was always creepy knowing the house was a bunker but all of the houses in the neighborhood had basements so it wasn't a rare sight, the house had deteriorated over the years from the outside, id like to see it get cleaned up and sold
To be honest, I wish this house was my home. Because this bunker is insanely cool . Though I would kind of be more comfortable if the entrance had a blast proof door and if it was a little bit bigger and had a specialized hydroponics room but other than that, this bunker is so freaking cool!!!
@@user-Bornagain you obviously arent in reality , most average families cant afford even the base model before transport, installation , construction costs, etc
Buy it, it's a show piece. Fully restore it then turn it into a place where you advertise all your modern stuff and also use it like a museum to showcase the evolution and changes in technology. You could use it as a place for creating marketing films and training videos or even hosting podcasts about related topics. You are the expert above and beyond what most common wannabe RUclipsrs are
If you buy it, you should modernize it. It looks to have a lot of potential but I think we've learned a lot about bunkers over the last 60 years. Once it has been renovated to some degree, I'd spend time in there. Heck, if I could find a sponsor for it, I would spend a year in one of your new shelters.
Atlas should consider install some air noise reducers in their products. On ceilings, maybe. Not sure about fire safety, buut, nowadays it’s so loud inside.
This is a great tornado home though everything needs an update... If it had plumbing running through it got an update. Nothing too fancy no white washing just a modern twist new drywall, electrical, woodwork, and Appliances! Have the kitchen be taken down with care and reassembled in its current condition in a museum or something lmao. Basically bring it back to the studds, and rewire, replumb, making everything like window planters a display screen retaining the ability to grow with grow lights and led technology to mimic the outdoor conditions in 4K for every window. Air conditioning systems overhauled/replaced and the fireplace flew redone so its not a random monument to the outdoor area like maybe built in to a shed that is architecturally matched to the garages which doubles as a workshop and additional storage. Hardwood flooring throughout and a modern home theater. Full kitchen and bathroom renovation to modern standards. Bedrooms just need new windows and displays maybe some crown moldings and ceiling fans. Fake plants in the foyer to match the 60's photos and light play with the shadows with incandescent bulbs outside and maybe a 4000k in the interior sections. For the most of the interior keep to a mimic theme to closely as possible resemble the way of the previous themes for the living room and office.
It’s not deep enough, needs proper filtration system, needs and exit location as well, needs an air tight thick door, and a dcon room with another blast proof door on it.
Cheers Ron this would look better with some new carpet and some tlc and a lick of paint oh & definitely moderize the kitchen and electronics anyway stay safe now.
Looks like a tomb. You would run of food before outside radiation. Might have problems getting out of it eventually with possible debris. Some WWII bombs could penetrate 130 foot of dirt, or 20 foot of concrete.

A bomb will unlikely drop directly on top of them? They just need to stay away from nuclear snow .

I would like an underground bunker to have my office and to work in a quiet area.
*their music
Vegas has a exceptional one of these thats truly a work of art
Wonder if the legendary architect Paul Revere Williams designed it? He designed much of Vegas, Palm Springs and Los Angeles ?
The one is Vegas is same builder as this one!

I agree. Some kind of a "safe" style door filled with concrete is needed. A door that is blast and temper resistant.
Yeah, I would upgrade the doors, for sure. But it's pretty sweet otherwise.

A hydroponic system and a well is must have.
Trump voters too
Plus it's far enough north in Texas that hurricanes aren't an issue either
My Husband and I would Totally do a 30 day challenge there!
That is Awesome!!!
You have to buy this Ron.
Did I miss the price?
@AnyaMidkiff I'm sure the current owner will want top dollar for a collectible like this
@stevebishop3796 oh, no doubt, was just curious.
I would LOVE TO DO 30 DAYS IN THIER ! That's just straight out of History and A Great Blast From The Past !!
I'm a builder, no carpet anytime any place.
You need a better stair engineer. Those steps are horrible. I make good stairs.
@@terryhsley3808 Yeah, rip it out & replace with some LVP & it would be good to go in there

Camoflage it!
They would have been better off making a small A frame house structure to hide those pipes, or just use a separated garage.

I'd definitely do a 30-Day Challenge in that Underground Shelter.
Dirty dance all you like Ron! Did your homework! Great house! ✌️😎👍
I could definitely live in something like this. No noise and no light at night which makes for wonderful sleeping.
Needs one of Ron's air systems and blast doors.
an escape hatch might come in handy too
@@BogusDudeGW And new floors. Definitely not carpet, preferably LVP or tile.
Awesome. I wish I owned this home. It really is amazing.
NO Blast door???
Amazing! If you can, buy it for sure.
Buy it if the price is right. You could retrofit it to modern standards and flip it for a nice profit. The way things are headed it has to be a hot market now.
Just imagine you rent this for around $5,000 for the week then WW3 starts. Talk about getting your very own bunker for pennies on the dollar if you time it right.
Imagine having to break in to evict the renter if it happens while rented.
Amazing!! You two figured out the plot line for *Leave the World Behind* without even seeing it.
That was cool. I never knew about these kind of houses.
Those doors would definitely not keep out the nuclear radiation or the hordes of Zombies and roving gangs.
Illegal Alien 👽 Invaders 🤪😩🤑
It’s incredible - i would love to do the redesign - replace electronics and appliances with new retro - fun
Very interesting. Is there any off grid power and water? Not sure how practical this would be if something actually happened. Needs an updated air filtration system also.
I want to know about this as well. Grid power is likely going to be the first to go.
6:40 YES YES YES and a renovation/modernization series of videos PLS :D

Have a ripper mate and stay safe!
Wow! This is Amazing! Definitely buy and reinforce everything, but I would put back all the original 1960 items if, they are functional.
Was the architect under the impression that the fresh water supply and sewerage would all still be functional after a nuclear attack?
Yes absolutely would do a 30 day challenge and yes you should buy it!
All doors leading into the bunker, looked like standard house doors? not blast doors? Fun vid
I like how its designed as a house so if you had to stay in there for any lenght of time it atleast looks like a home, and not a giant concentrate box
For sure buy it!
My dream is to have a bunker. It would never happen but I can dream. I would live there!
There are people that know how to weld bunker doors closed. Not cool.
Cool house/concept, but missing so many modern safety features that we've been accustomed to through the years. Thanks for the tour!
That is amazing!! Thank you for sharing!!!
If there was an option, you should DEFINITELY buy this.
It's nice but I want to go the GT Hill route & getbthe Titan II. If only I could and I Def would.
I grew up in Plainview and went to school with one of the Hamman kids. I remember the house all too well.
I would live the rest of my days in something like this.
You should buy it and fix that door make it stronger Plus add 1 of your air filters to it. 30 day challenge. Hell, I'd love to do a year challenge in one of those.
10:42 I would do a one year challenge, easy peasy. Could even do it all by myself.
Solitary is fun if the person is mentally 100% stable. 😊

6:11 super cool. True time capsule. 7:10 the pride of ownership is clear.
Love the Tacoma by the way!!💪🏻💪🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Nice! Would you even need AC in a house 14 feet underground? Replace the light bulbs with LED and utilities would be cheap.
We had one in Chicago that was in the house we purchased.
We didn't know it was there until the closing, and the old owner showed us his secret.
I would love to buy this!!! Really cool!
# That toilet receptacle looks NEW
It would be interesting to find out what the Square Footage is inside the Shelter.

@freeamericanthinker558 The company has affordable packages. I think now will be the perfect time.
No, every single American should stand up to their government that's robbing them blind while shipping in millions of people that hates Americans.
@@user-Bornagain you obviously arent in reality , most average families cant afford even the base model before transport, installation , construction costs, etc
$$$$$$$$$$$
Funny, I live up the road in Amarillo and had no idea this was down there. cool video!
There was bunkers in every place for a couple blocks in Houston near that big blimp where they parked at
i cant beleive that atomotat comes from atomic and habitat, my mind is utterly blown
This needs to be preserved as museum!
You flew from Sulfur Springs to Long View, TX? Did ya land at a Valera and pick up a six pack of Lone Star Beer too? I mean it’s like 70-80 miles.
I bet its nice and cool during the summer.
Buy it, it's a show piece. Fully restore it then turn it into a place where you advertise all your modern stuff and also use it like a museum to showcase the evolution and changes in technology. You could use it as a place for creating marketing films and training videos or even hosting podcasts about related topics. You are the expert above and beyond what most common wannabe RUclipsrs are
Right On 😊
Whaaat. Please 🙏 owner, don’t touch it, keep everything except the carpet. Just wash the curtains-on gentle cycle haha. Solid gold.
If you buy it, you should modernize it. It looks to have a lot of potential but I think we've learned a lot about bunkers over the last 60 years. Once it has been renovated to some degree, I'd spend time in there. Heck, if I could find a sponsor for it, I would spend a year in one of your new shelters.
Nice bunker house, but one thing I didn't see. If your supposed to stay down there many years where was the mass storage for the food and water?
yes, you should buy this house! 👍🏻
I like it. While it is dated and needs updating, it has a comfortable feel of home. Perhaps add a generator and fuel tank in one garage.
Atlas should consider install some air noise reducers in their products. On ceilings, maybe. Not sure about fire safety, buut, nowadays it’s so loud inside.
This is a great tornado home though everything needs an update... If it had plumbing running through it got an update. Nothing too fancy no white washing just a modern twist new drywall, electrical, woodwork, and Appliances! Have the kitchen be taken down with care and reassembled in its current condition in a museum or something lmao. Basically bring it back to the studds, and rewire, replumb, making everything like window planters a display screen retaining the ability to grow with grow lights and led technology to mimic the outdoor conditions in 4K for every window. Air conditioning systems overhauled/replaced and the fireplace flew redone so its not a random monument to the outdoor area like maybe built in to a shed that is architecturally matched to the garages which doubles as a workshop and additional storage. Hardwood flooring throughout and a modern home theater. Full kitchen and bathroom renovation to modern standards. Bedrooms just need new windows and displays maybe some crown moldings and ceiling fans. Fake plants in the foyer to match the 60's photos and light play with the shadows with incandescent bulbs outside and maybe a 4000k in the interior sections. For the most of the interior keep to a mimic theme to closely as possible resemble the way of the previous themes for the living room and office.
This would work well in a zombie apocalypse as well , they should make a movie out of that
It’s not deep enough, needs proper filtration system, needs and exit location as well, needs an air tight thick door, and a dcon room with another blast proof door on it.
What about water lines…
Cheers Ron this would look better with some new carpet and some tlc and a lick of paint oh & definitely moderize the kitchen and electronics anyway stay safe now.
No blast doors or blast valves; air filtration? Good video.
Looks like a tomb. You would run of food before outside radiation. Might have problems getting out of it eventually with possible debris. Some WWII bombs could penetrate 130 foot of dirt, or 20 foot of concrete.
How could you say it would be a challenge to live there ... looks perfectly fine to me.
im missing blast doors, it isnt airtight
I'll take one!
