You know, given the area I can believe this was a gun safe to house the owners small 1500 gun collection. What I want explained is a dock in a pond slightly larger than a hot tub.

The movies don't do these folks justice, for just how mother farking crazy they are.
That's a really nice vault!
Would definitely put a regular door or bookcase in front of the vault door though. Sh*t like that beckons the nosy.
Lovely property too.
Pro-tip for psycho subby: Never put the light switch inside your dungeon.
Panic room or gun locker. The rug does give a "concealing a hole in the floor" vibe.
Gun room. Still I wouldn't want to know the previous owners. If you have so many guns, you need a farking bedroom to house them, you are farking nuts.

Mosquito fetish, get right out in the centre of the pond so there are no swarm obstructions.

Aw, come on. You know you loved Tremors for the shoot out scene, if nothing else.
Maybe it's just a vault and some banker wants to feel at home, at home.
Lets be honest, there are two types of people in this world.
1. Peopls that would love having a secret room or vault where they live.
2. Liars.
A quiet place to read a book and have lunch perhaps?
That's the pleasure room
What kind of "pleasure" is entirely up to you as the homeowner.
This is in tornado alley. This is a tornadically-safe house and safe room. They built the house into a hillside. The roof is level with the ground. If I lived there and had the money, I'd consider doing something similar.

a person can be a gun collector without being a gun nut. Of course there is some overlap.

Kentucky is not tornado alley nor is that house tornado safe just because one corner of the roof is level with the ground it's not the same as a basement as it is still exposed on three sides and a tornado could still rip right through that.

The simplest explanations are usually the correct ones. In WKRP in Cincinnati the news reporter wanted his own office. The radio station wouldn't give him one so he put tape around his desk to represent where walls would be if he had his own office. Someone who lived there wanted their own bass lake. They couldn't have one though, maybe their spouse wouldn't allow it. So they built the dock to show where their bass boat would be if they had one.
The Earth berming would be a selling point. Sturdy. Weatherproof. Low maintenance. Lots of thermal mass.

It's not "technically" tornado alley, but it has many. You'd be pretty safe in that concrete room in a tornado.

I know they do not build basements in a lot of southern states, do they build them in KY? If they are common, I'd feel a lot safer in there than that concrete dungeon in the pics.

Everyone assumes it was for guns just because it's in Kentucky. Maybe it was a safe place to house the owner's fine art, rare books, or Magic: The Gathering cards.

And garages are uncommon in michigan. Whoda thunk?
My house has what my brother refers to as the "Dexter Kill Room". According to the fuse box, it was the called the "Gun Room" by the previous owner.

A dock offers a really good hiding space.
Also it could confuse the enemy, so that the enemy stands still and looks at the dock, giving you a good opportunity to attack from beneath it.
Or, maybe the pond is automatically upgraded to a lake when the dock is complete.
It's clearly a gun room, or a room for some expensive hobby, like making jewelry, coin collecting, etc. It wouldn't need bars if it was a tornado or disaster shelter
I have a room similar in my home. But mine doesnt have iron bars but it does have a steel door. I built it for tornado shelter. Everyone sticks a hole in the ground and lines it with blocks and then loses everything they own. Mine it 16X16. It will take a direct hit from a f5 tornado. It has things that cant be replaced in it. Family heirlooms like pictures all our legal documents like insurance paperwork deeds etc. And yes I do keep my firearms in there as well. Because its a secure room and keeps anyone but me from getting to the firearms. We have 2 double beds in it as well. If we are due for some highly probable severe weather we just sleep in that room. No jumping up or down every hr because of a warning and running outside to a shelter. When you live somewhere like I do that has days where we end up with a dozen or more confirmed tornadoes touchdown within 24 hrs it just makes sense. My son and his family live a few miles a way and they come stay with us. We are all safe and comfortable. Worth every penny and then some. And the south gets more tornadoes than anywhere else. Kentucky does get many tornadoes a year. Im in Alabama and we had 10 in one day not long ago. Ive had as many as 5 pass within 30 miles of my house in one day. This one came through my wifes home town a few years ago. That tornado is almost 5 miles away.....and look how big it still looks.

I'd buy that in the case of the article expect for the bars. Those are what propel it into, "Wait, the fark??" territory. You just want it locked up? The reinforced door does that just fine. Two reinforced doors if you're super-paranoid even. Only reason you put bars in vs. that is so you can keep an eye on whatever/whoever's inside, and do so obviously.

O RLY?
Bars are a secondary defense; alarm sounds when vault door is breached, so now the thief must decide if he has time to defeat the bars before the cops arrive.
CIA - Black Ops Site - KY05982
Includes interrogation room where they blared "Achy Breaky Heart" 24/7 until the "suspect" broke.

Which could just as easily be a second door - they want to be able to see in there during operations. Bars are inherently less secure than a door.
It is nothing more than a vault. Put a different type of door on it and it would make a great tornado shelter.
It literally says "vault" on the vault door. Poors have such limited imaginations.
Thinking someone had an expensive collection. Or kids.

I'm really getting a kick out of this reply because my reading glasses are broken so I can't read books.

Wow, did not know that. I know with the south it can be a structural issue for a basement, is there a reason for no garages in Michigan?

That's for the scenic water boarding.
It's a CIA interrogation house.
Hell, other than it being in Louisville, Kentucky, I'd pick that place up as a retirement home in a heartbeat.
The evil overlord vault-of-terror is just a nice perk.

It's weird. A lot of garages are detached afterthoughts.
While searching for our current home, we toured a house that had a room with no windows and padded walls, floor, and ceiling. To add to the weirdness, all the pads were upholstered in a pastel pink.
It turned out that the owners had a family member who was a self-harmer, primarily through banging his (yes, his, despite the pinkness) head against walls & floors. Presumably ceilings as well. I don't know any more details than that, mainly because it wasn't any of my effing business. I felt sad for the family and the person who had to be cared for in that way, though.

Pink is used to calm down violent people.
