Want to play a real life version of Halo? Simply fork out $495US per month, and you could rent parts of a former military base, complete with thousands of feet of connected underground tunnels.

The property is the former Larson Air Force base complex, which the government shut down in the seventies. The current owner, Bari Hotchkiss, has been using it as a summer retreat for his family, and placed portions of it on the rental market a while back. Rents vary from $1500/month for a 160 feet tall missile silo with 150 ton silo doors in the ceiling, to $495/month for a floor in the equipment terminal building.

The base has about 47,000 square feet of underground tunnels, including some rooms that rise to more than 155 feet. These massive rooms once housed the nuclear tipped Titan intercontinental ballistic missiles.

Hotchkiss is also open to other possible uses for the base including top secret research purposes or high security data storage.
