Conceived in the 1980s, the Beckham Creek Cave Lodge near Parthenon, Arkansas is up for sale. Currently listed for about $2.75 million, the renovated cave house can be rented for company retreats, family gatherings, weddings, or couples looking for a private vacation. Its first owner John Hay bought it for $146,000 and then spent almost $2 million to convert it into a doomsday shelter during the Cold War.
After a few years when the war-like circumstances were over, he sold it to “Mr. Richardson” who transformed the bomb shelter into a nightclub and also created a helipad for VIP guests. Over again the Beckham Creek Cave house was updated in 2007 and 2014. Now, the 6,000-square-feet cave house has four bedrooms, full kitchen, four bathrooms, and multiple living areas – all featuring natural rock formations inside. There are high ceilings and large, open spaces, creating a roomy interior.
