An underground missile silo is currently one of New Mexico's hottest real estate properties.
Real estate agent Jim Moore said Friday that he has gotten more than 40 calls, some from out of state, about the 10-story silo near Roswell. The silo is on the market for $295,000. The deal includes 25 acres of surrounding land and 280 acres of water rights.
Moore says the previous owner had been living in a nursing home until his death two months ago.
The silo, which is about 20 miles outside of Roswell, used to house an Atlas missile in the 1960s. The structure includes a kitchen, bathroom and several tunnels.
Moore says several inquiries have come from people interested in living off the grid.
