Watch: In These Uncertain Times, Take Shelter in This Prepper Palace The multilevel main residence has opulent features like marble and hardwood floors, a two-story closet with a winding staircase in the primary suite, and a home theater with stadium seating. It features video surveillance throughout the property, a 9-acre private lake that’s stocked, plus rolling timberland full of wildlife. It’s also built for maximum sustainability as it comes with a greenhouse complete with soil boxes and grow lighting.Ībove ground, the 323-acre property is sustainable, luxurious, and safe. ‘Security in an uncertain world’: This massive 14,000-square-foot mansion features a 5,000-square-foot underground bunker “built for maximum security.” The 3.4-acre property also comes with an assortment of outbuildings, including an aviary, workshop, and various porches and patios. The main house has three bedrooms and two baths. The listing suggests it could be used as a shelter, storage space out of the desert heat, second living space, “or just a cool conversation space for when your friends visit.” The latter seems to make the most sense, as the skylight in one of the rooms provides natural light (but dubious protection). It’s a three-room basement that’s wired and plumbed. So it’s no surprise that this compound-built in 1951 during the Atomic Age fervor-has a cement-block bunker buried beneath it. Undergrounded: Way out in the Mojave Desert, the Joshua Tree area has been favored by rugged individualists and preppers for decades.
Scouring nationwide listings, we found five homes for sale outfitted with underground shelters. And as climate events continue to wreak havoc across previously “safe” parts of the country, these underground environments are a hedge against calamity.
In the Midwest, they can provide protection from devastating tornadoes.
But the bunkers’ recent resurgence isn’t simply about geopolitical concerns.
