For Sale: The Perfect Bond Villain's Lair Atop a Desert Volcano

howser1.jpg

The house was originally commissioned in 1968 by the inventor, Vard Wallace, an engineer who patented the first skateboard,
and sold airplane parts to the likes of Lockheed & Co. during World War II. Design features include 360 degrees of glass that creating an overhang, which partially shades the interior from the merciless desert sun and a fireplace carved out of a stone cylinder, surrounded by a sunken conversation pit with Austin Powers-like commands. The one-bedroom guest house at the base of the volcano has its own private lake at its doorstep. | Messy Nessy Chic

Check out Ball's Pyramid in the South Pacific for the perfect ultra-villain lair.
