A Room With No View

But it would make a damn fine wine cellar

A US intercontinental ballistic missile base, equipped with a vast underground network of tunnels and rooms but no atomic warheads, is for sale in a remote corner of the United States.

The warheads and missiles went when the US government abandoned the Titan bases in the 1970s.

Located near remote Moses Lake in the northwest state of Washington, the former Larsen military base includes 4,000 square meters (43,000 square feet) of "usable" space on 23 hectares (56 acres) of land, and the owner is only asking for 1.5 million dollars -- which might buy a small home in Hollywood.

Now if Lotto only cooperates it's mine.

Moses Lake is moderately sized community, on I90 in Eastern Washington, and is "remote" only in the sense that you have to drive (at 70 MPH) for 90 minutes or so to Spokane, and maybe 3 hours to Seattle.

The missile base in question is probably remote, though, since they were often well away from towns.
