Arizona's 5-Acre Equestrian Estate With Buried Vintage Railroad Cars Is On The Market For $727,885

Arizona, which recently included the buried vintage railroad cars in the Cave Creek as part of their equestrian estate, has been saddled up to the market for $727,885.

The five-acre underground property has covered stalls, tack sheds, and arenas. The most interesting part the estate is the three vintage railroad cars which have been buried for a long time. According to the Realtor, it has been suggested to use this in preparation for the apocalypse or in a run-and-breakfast.

 "It's one of those properties you have to go and see in person--it's something new and really different," listing agent Lori Cedarstrom said.

The said underground property was built in 1967 and was formerly known the "Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired" house. It measures 4,091 square feet with a series of vintage train cars buried in the dirt. 

The "Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired" house was originally used as a fallout shelter designed to protect occupants and provide them a safe place to stay. The house is connected through a tunnel to the main house.

Curbed reported that three boxcars have their own electricity and plumbing with a bathroom, a bar that seats four, a full-size pingpong table as well as a performance area for small bands for entertainment. The tunnel is currently closed, but there were installed stairs for visitors to leisurely stroll straight to the house's caboose.

The cars are about 3 to 5 feet of dirt above and it's the only portion that is exposed to the ground. The cars which 'are said to be from the late '60s and early '70s remain intact.'

Cedarstrom also revealed that the house has five bedrooms and five bathrooms. It also has a master suite with a balcony that overlooks the pool. The fireplace stretches from the floor to the corner ceiling.

"I've never seen a property like this. ... Here, you can see yourself dressed up in jeans and cowboy boots, riding into the sunset on trails that stream out from everywhere on this property," Cedarstrom says.
