Only in America. Back in the 70s, some nutter in America built his home, and actual house mind you, in a giant bomb shelter under the ground. Complete with murals depicting nature and stuff. Very creepy.

"At a sprawling home for sale near Flamingo Road, you can golf, barbecue, swim, relax in a hot tub, dance under a starry sky and make breakfast while gazing at the mountains.
All while 26 feet underground.
The two-bedroom, three-bathroom house at 3970 Spencer St. might be the most peculiar in Las Vegas. It is buried 26 feet underground, underneath a typical suburban two-story house."

Here's the Gallery of amazing images from the estate agent. Take the tour.

Here's the article 'bout the joint.
