                       Underground: A 3D image of the property on the market for £11.57
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.
     The large kitchen 
Safe: The bunker boasts a large kitchen with modern, everyday features 
 

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.
       The communal area 
Deceiving: At a glance, the property resembles an ordinary home 
 

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."
                             The hall way 
Haven: The bunker is capable of withstanding a nuclear blast, apparently

"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."

Cost: In the case of this home, piece of mind is priced at £11.57 million

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?
