Spacious property was previously home to an Intercontinental Ballistic Missile.

TUCSON Ariz. (KYMA, KSWT). Just northwest of downtown Tucson sits a piece of American history; the relic of the Cold War sits waiting for someone to give it new life. Hidden in the Arizona desert is a building; but, the building is just the entrance to a new home or business, all it needs is the right buyer. The former military installation was home to one of the country's Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles; in this case it was a Titan II, one of the country's largest missiles tipped with a thermal-nuclear warhead. 

   But, the property has been vacant since it was decommissioned in the 1980s; after that it had one owner who had to give up the property due to economic restraints. The facility features a wide space approximately 4,000 sq.ft. with several chambers including a control room. If safety is a concern? The rooms feature large armored doors each weighing close to 7,000 lbs more than capable of stopping an intruder or a shockwave from a nuclear explosion. 

   The asking price for the diamond in the rough is just under $400.000 and has Grant Hampton Realty Executives as property holders.
