  • A Las Vegas house with a 15,000-square-foot underground bunker is for sale for $5.9 million.
  • Built in 1978, the bunker is outfitted in furniture and decor to match the original time period. 
  • Lighting changes to reflect the time of day and the "outdoor" area includes a pool. 

If you're in the market for a 15,000-square-foot bunker decorated like an authentic 1970s home, you're in luck. A Las Vegas property that fits the bill, initially listed in 2019 for $18 million, is still looking for a buyer — now for just $5.9 million. 

Realtor Stephan LaForge told Insider the price adjustment reflects the range of offers the property has received since being listed, but the seller remains committed to its unique value. To build a comparative property, LaForge estimates it could take up to eight times the current asking price.

The property is currently owned by the Stasis Foundation, which bought the site in 2015 for $1.15 million as part of a bank auction. According to Charity Navigator, the foundation advocates for cryogenics, or the practice of freezing humans and organs in an effort to advance science.

Over the years LaForge has given tours to potential buyers with imaginative uses for the space, ranging from a musician looking for a concert venue to a pinball-machine curator looking to store his collection. 

Take a look inside. 

The house was originally built in 1978 for an Avon executive and is located three miles from the Las Vegas Strip.

The underground house is dripping in 1970s nostalgia. The original builder used rocks from their home in Colorado on the faux facade.

Maybe more than any other room in the house, the kitchen screams of the 1970s.
