“Potential buyers have said they are interested in using it as a rental property, outdoor storage facility, campsite, or to just have as a novelty. There has also been interest from movie sets to underground data storage. We have even had some people say they might offer diving training here, as the property sits on 140 feet of groundwater.”

Figueroa holds the listing with his wife, Polly.

York is about 105 miles southwest of Omaha.
