I have found my dream home.

It's a science-fictionish/James Bond Villain lair.

ON A VOLCANO.

Between LA and Las Vegas.

WITH a LAKE.

If I had the money I would be writing the check RIGHT NOW. "Don't you want to see the insi--" "NO. I have the money, I could rebuild it if I had to."

I could hide my super helicopter (see icon) in the crater.

But, but out side of the cool factor, there are no gardens, and it's bleak concrete and cold.... Almost... Depressing.... :)

See, I'm not sure.

If the 2012 apocalypse happens, the volcano cts loose and you die.

If the zombie apocalypse happens, I don't think the windows are fortified enough.

If civilization just collapses it could be cool, but I don't know about hidden escape tunnels.


And... It's In California!


REALLY nice place, but I'll pass.

Bond: "Do you expect me to redecorate this unit for under $50,000?"
Villian: "No, Mister Bond, I expect you to DIE!"

To each their own. Looks like a good first approximation of my idea of hell. No neighbors. No community. No shade. No greenery. No library. No book stores. No parks. No farmer's market. No beach. No forests. Abjectly fossil-fuel dependent for absolutely everything except possibly water, and if it's between LA and Vegas that's either not potable or draws from the Rio Grande, which is...a bit oversubscribed...

Timeshare?

Caldera. Volcanoes have caldera, not craters.

And what you have here is a cinder cone. Was probably active a few million years ago for a few months, then died. But still very cool.

If they throw in a throne of skulls overlooking the sacrificial pool lake, I'll bid.

Excellent idea. It really needs to be taller, however. That way there's enough room inside the volcano for a proper Dr. No style sekrit base.

Wan't this place shown in Diamonds Are Forever? All we need is Bambi and Thumper to open up a can of whoop-ass.
