Clear the Tracks! Arizona House With a Quirky Boxcar Bunker Quickly Finds a Buyer By Lisa Johnson Mandell

It only took about two weeks for the ranch with the notorious railroad-car bunker to be claimed. An offer has been accepted on the Arizona landmark that was listed recently for $1.35 million.
Located in Cave Creek, AZ, about an hour north of Phoenix, the unusual property offers even more than the famous treasure in the backyard.
The home’s peaceful setting and mountain views come with a trio of buried Santa Fe railroad cars, says Ryan Buckley, who is listing the property with Lori Cedarstrom. Both are with the Scottsdale office of Coldwell Banker Realty.
The ranch is conveniently nestled close to town, a short drive to entertainment and shopping, Buckley says.
Curious about that bunker? The old Santa Fe railroad cars were buried three to five feet deep on the property. The original intent was to use them as a fallout shelter, and they were once connected via tunnel to the main house.
Now they’ve taken on a clubhouse-type vibe. The boxcars are equipped with electricity, plumbing, a bathroom, bar that seats four, full-size pingpong table, and performance space for a small band—because you’ve got to have some kind of entertainment while hunkering down, right?
