  We present a Kaluza-Klien vacuum solution which closely resembles the
Taub-NUT magnetic monopole and we investigate its physical properties as viewed
from four space-time dimensions. We show that the Taub-NUT Kaluza-Klein vacuum
solution in five dimensions is a static magnetic monopole. We find that the
four dimensional matter properties do not obey the equation of state of
radiation and there is no event horizon. A comparison with the available
magnetic monopole solutions and the issue of vanishing and negative mass are
discussed.
