Want to know what to get me for my birthday? How about a Unique Cave Home<\/a> from ebay?<\/p>\n

Historic, regionally famous cave: 15,000 square feet, divided into three main chambers.<\/p>\n

The front chamber houses the main part of the 3-bedroom finished house.<\/p>\n

The middle chamber holds the laundry room, storage, and a spare bath. The middle chambe made a great party room. 80 feet by 80 feet.<\/p>\n

The back chamber still has the stage where Ted Nugent, Bob Seger, Ike and Tina Turner, the MC5 and many other bands performed.<\/p>\n

Property: 2.8 scenic, partially wooded acres provide excellent privacy and the feel of the country right in the middle of town, just several blocks from shopping, dining, and other conveniences.<\/p>\n

Energy efficiency: Geothermal and passive solar keep the home comfortable year-round without a furnace or air conditioning. In spite of the vast size of the home, our energy costs here run about the same as they did in our 800 square-foot starter home. The home naturally stays a little cooler than the average above-ground home, but we found that we acclimated quickly and easily.<\/p>\n

Kitchen: The kitchen is the crowning jewel of the house, with nearly 400 square feet and a floor plan that lends itself well to cooking for one person, two, or parties of a hundred guests! Some of the features include a customizable Jenn-Air cook top, two convection ovens, Kitchen-Aid triple sink, large island with secondary sink and breakfast bar, and granite tile countertops.<\/p>\n

Occupancy: The house could still could use trim and finish in several key areas. Trim is not a safety feature and not required by code. The City of Festus granted us an occupancy permit in May of 2008, and we have been living here happily ever since.<\/p>\n

You choose whether to hire pros to customize before moving in, or live here and take your time getting intimate with the space while making your decorating choices. <\/p>\n

Water features: The property has at least three groundwater springs, one accessible via a cistern in the middle chamber of the cave, one that yields an average of 100 gallons a day that drips into an indoor pond in the front chamber, and one near the woods that creates a shallow pond. During heavy rain, the property gets as many as fourteen beautiful waterfalls from the cliffs. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Anyone know how much huge closing concrete doors would cost? I’d call it NOGGLAD<\/i><\/b>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
