If you're fearful of a nuclear blast, this unique property might be
your dream home - because it's capable of withstanding a 20-kiloton
explosion.
But that extra security comes at a cost - £11.57 million, to be precise
The one-of-a-kind luxury property is apparently capable of surviving
other potential threats, including natural disasters, civil disturbances
and terrorist attacks .
Situated near Savannah in Georgia, US, the property was built in 1969 by the army corps and engineers.
In
2012, the shelter was renovated, bringing it up to government
standards. According to the listing, it's the only privately-owned
bunker of its kind in the US.
Its protection features include 3ft-thick walls, air intake systems, a nurse's room, decontamination showers and a £67,500 CCTV system.

More everyday features include hot water, solar panels and humidity controls.
The facility is situated on 32 acres of land and has two levels of underground living space, which total around 14,000 square feet.
Within the underground space, the second level features four luxury apartments - each approximately 600 square feet in size - with each containing a kitchen, dining area, two bedrooms, a living room and bathroom.

Level one features communal areas - like those found in a
hotel - as well as a separate quarters staff, should the buyer wish to
employ.
As well as being targeted at anyone who might want to use
the bunker as a home, the property is also being advertised as a
potential corporate retreat, to secure gold or other valuables, as a
training facility - or just the ultimate man cave.
Chris
Salamone, co-owner of Bastion Holdings, a training company for
government and security personnel, said: "We are living in an
increasingly dangerous world."

"This property offers the ultimate safe haven for any family,
business or government that wants the ultimate in security and
comfort," he continued.
"Renovations include amenities that
rival any five-star hotel, except located 45 feet underground,
impenetrable and undetectable."

Martin McDermott, CEO of Bastion Holdings and a counter-terrorism, surveillance and communications expert, added: "This Facility is impenetrable, while meeting the highest standards for quality, comfort and security.
"It is better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it."
But is it better than this underground bunker?
