For Sale: Apocalypse Bunker, Can Withstand 20 Kiloton Nuclear Blast; Furnished: Asking $17,500,000
Earlier this week we presented the Oppidium: a concept doomsday shelter which would be located in the Czech Republic, catering exclusively to billionaires who could watch mushroom clouds wrap the earth in a radioactive glow just the way they like it: in posh opulence, as the following proposed images suggested:
Interior bedroom of bunker
Bunker swimming pool and garden using artificial lighting
Underground bunker wine cellar
And the bottom line:
Upon some further recollection three things emerged: the Oppidium bunker is completely useless because i) it was all style over substance; ii) it was a marketing gimmick for its designer/seller, and iii) it doesn't even exist yet and furthermore its completion cost further billions.
But perhaps most importantly, the bunker was located in Europe, somewhere in the Czech heartland, and as such would be largely useless to the targeted customer base: uber-wealthy Americans with a penchant for if not immortality then outliving everyone else, and who would hardly have the time to reach it as the "Apocalypse-level" event unfolded.
Addressing all of these concerns is an underground facility and bunker dubbed “The Facility” in Southeast Georgia, located two hours from Savannah, which just hit the market for a far more modest $17.5 million, and which most importantly, is in "move-in ready" shape.
As BizJournals reports, the property (which is exclusively listed by Sister Hood of Harry Norman, Realtors Buckhead Office), was built in 1969 and fully renovated to government standards in 2012. Its address is undisclosed.
According to Harry Norman, it is the only hardened and privately owned underground bunker of its kind in the United States. The property features a commercial 3-Phase power plant, in addition to its own 8Kw new solar backup system. The facility is also equipped with a $100,000 CCTV security system.
“Above ground, The Facility offers 2,000 square feet of commercial space, a renovated 1,000-square-foot caretaker’s home and below ground the facility offers 14,000-square-feet of living and working space,” the company reported. “The Facility is 45 feet underground and certified to withstand a 20K ton nuclear blast.”
The Facility stands on 32 acres and has two levels of underground living space.
Level two has four luxury apartments that are about 600-square-feet. The apartments are totally self-contained and have two full bedrooms, a kitchen and dining area, a living room with TV and internet and a large bathroom in addition to its own security, a HVAC system and environmental monitoring sensors. Level one of the underground facility has common areas similar to a luxury hotel, the company said.
“Guests can enjoy the large home theater with seating for 15, a commercial grade kitchen, a recreation area, library and TV room,” Harry Norman reported. “The Facility is equipped with a full workshop, a separate business and conference center and fully equipped medical room.”
In other words, unlike the Czech pipe dream, the Atlanta bunker can not only withstand a direct nuclear blast, but is move in ready right now - a key selling point which no other "concept" apocalypse shelters have as of this moment.
Here is the full listing:
And here is what $17,500,000 (price is negotiable) gets you.

You would think that a billionaire would have enough sense not to be in the Czech Republic if there was even a remote chance that Europe would see a nuclear war. Get a villa in Costa Rica, or somewhere else that has a zero probability of being in a nuke zone.
Somewhere in South America for sure...
Why do we want to survive a nuclear blast? Then what? Maybe there are some issues that could be addressed before a nuclear blast happens? How long is this going to take for everyone to finally figures out that central banks are the problem? It is so obvious to so many of us here but somehow most people just don't get it because I guess they are ostriches but I see that they know yet won't admit it. It is very obvious that we were correct the whole time and now they are pissed off at us because some people are that way. Too many people. They are grasshoppers. Fools.
To have sex with a bunch of babes to repopulate! lol
Dumb. Central banks are not the problem. Human nature is the problem.
No creature that evolves in an environment of scarcity can be relied upon to create a just society. There will never be a human philosopher-king.
Until we are governed by non-human intelligence, we're screwed. There will always be another central bank, or similar organization, to realize human greed & fear in policy and screw things up.
nice interior design.
there is ONE design flaw. it works as follows.
you fly your personal LearJet to the airport near the bunker.
You drive your armored HumVee to the bunker.
You get out and stretch your legs.
THEN you neighbor runs over, hits you on the back of the head with a lead pipe, and steals your keys. No downpayment needed on the Bunker!
Then your neighbor drinks all the wine in your Bunker for the next 50 years.
Pretty cool move.
Sounds about right, thats why u own a mercenary force atleast 12 should be enough to fk some shit up... Thats another 3-4 http://zombie.wikia.com/wiki/Armored_Vehicles... Abrams works for me hits 60 or more... 18 wheeler in rear for fuel. lol Dont forget the water truck.
All that means is that the mercenary force will take you out instead.
The twin realities of the Apocalypse are:
1. You must be totally self-sufficient to survive
2. Nobody is totally self-sufficient.
= no one survives, especially the preppers and Mad Max fans who have no idea what's really going on in the world.
First off your not going to get a weeks or a days notice to move into your new bunker.
Secondly 20 kilotons is peanuts. If there are certain people they don't like that live in the bunker they are going to hit it with a 100-200 KT weapon ( they are dial-a-yield weapons typically the pilot can dial in anywhere from 40-300 KT on the weapon).
Third did I hear you right when you said it had a solar power back up? A 20kt weapon is ineffective against a solar panel let alone a solar panel that works in a nuclear winter????
Where are these billionaires I have a solar powered flashlight to sell them along with a helicopter equipped with an ejector seat.
Possibly building bunkers is the only business where you don't have to worry about customer complaints if it fails.
Thats why u build it on a island where no one knows about it... period
Being stuck in a. Bunker with Donald Trump?
I'll take the direct hit from the nuclear weapon any day over that.
He is fairly fleshy...for when the supplies run out, ya know.
Yeah, I suppose being stuck down there with Hillary or that flabby-faced Jeb would be preferable?
Say what you want about The Donald, at least his dinner conversation won't be (barely) memorized cardboard talking points.
And if your escape pad doesn't function as promised, who do you call?
Vault-tec
Duh. Who you gonna call?
Ghostbusters.
Too expensive and was built in 1969; therefore the maintenance is too high...I'll keep searching.
Tyler, this stuff is tripe and I know you know it. Anyone out there looking for some real good reading material then give this a try and forget about fallout shelter and nuclear winters, etc. ad nauseum

I just got 2 with a 0.7% down HUD loan!
It's hardened to withstand Only a 20 kT blast? A yield of 20 kT is more typical for a tactical, short-range weapon. I highly doubt that anyone in Georgia need be concerned about tactical nuclear weapons unless the USA falls apart in violent revolution or civil war. An errant strategic missile warhead is the real concern. As long as this place is out in the middle of nowhere, and by nowhere I mean not within 50 miles of any large city, military base or any industry, that might be enough. But, the nuclear powers don't put firecrackers on their strategic missiles. Russia strategic missile minimum warhead yield is probably around 500 kT. China's are in the MT range.
This property is in Tift County Georgia. Tifton Georgia is located 56 miles from Moody Air Force Base. I don't recall the operational status of Moody AFB. The Chinese might give it a pass. But, if one of our ersatz heroic leaders starts WW III with the Russians they'll probably send Moody a gift package. Russian missiles weren't known for their accuracy, but they made up for it with MT yields. Remember that the Soviets tested the 50 MT Tsar Bomba. That's the practical limit for yield based on the height of the atmosphere.
Nice point...
Tsar Bomba was 80-100MT initially. The yield was reduced for safety reasons at the last moment of the assembly stage.
Yeah, but it had no delivery system. Even today there's no delivery system available for something that heavy.
This is where the elite will hang out.
My father was a career Senior NCO in the US Air Force and I grew up living on Air Force bases around the world. Depending on base location a Sea-Launched Ballistic Missile, fired from Arctic waters, could arrive within about 15 minutes. An Intercontinental Ballistic Missile fired from Siberia could arrive in about 30 minutes. The fact that I'd never know that I was dead has always been a comforting thought. [I mean, being dead is nothing—I've been dead several times—it's how you get dead that is so problematic.]. 15 minutes: that's the minimum warning time you have. Make sure that you are really close to home when the REAL WWW III begins.
I'm close to the houston refinery's, ashes to ashes dust to dust, wont feel a thang...
Yup. If it's nuclear war, best to live in the heart of of SF, LA, or NY. Won't feel a thing. A better death than the usual debilitated lingering suffering in a Kafka-esque socialist medicine hospital currently in the cards for most people.
Wrong. The superpowers are never going to launch.
The terrorists are another matter. The dirty bombs will go off in the big cities, and you will die slowly in your rent-controlled apartments from radiation sickness, while the exurban populations do just fine.
Georgia:
Home to 13 US Military Bases. I am sure the Russians will hit it relatively hard from the ocean. Especially Ft. Gordan which is a signals post and home to the US Army's 'Cyber warfare' command.

Fuck that shit, for $17 miillion i take my chances in New Zealand.
Dont forget fort bragg, middle to north alabama for sure dust the fall out will drift east alone to finish whats left of georgia.... Heck the dust from Houston to Louisiana may finish everything east alone to be exact.
its not the bombs, its our beautiful nuclear power plants that will fukushimize and sterilize the surface. You'll have to live a couple of hundred of years in underground bunker. Oh, and good luck with the solar panels
From the article below:

you can get an idea of a first class facitlity where someone has probably though through all the little details left off the 17.5m facility. I mean come on, my house has a 10KW sollar array and it is just marginal.
If you wander on google earth a klick or so southwest of the ATT facility you will come upon a very nice above ground facility at:
38°7.087'N,78°18.146'W
that would be very handy to connect to the underground portions of the ATT facitlity. Not that they actually are though but it would be convenient.
Great, but can it withstand the Fed?
Decided to run for Mayor of Pasadena, Texas I have 6mths any suggestions homiess? Get out the word wizteknet running fur it! Mr Anderson in their face, bitch piss me off... Broke my heart!

Promise that you will serve free of charge-- no salary, no benefits, no retirement, no limo, AND NO PAYOFFS from the corrupt shitheads running the city.
Tell the public that you HAVE NO FRIENDS, which means that you DON'T OWE ANYBODY ANYTHING and WON'T SELL THE PUBLIC down the river to feather the nests of your CORRUPT CRONIES.
hmmmm If i clip coupons and toss the odd nickle into a jar, after while i might afford it
Hate that Bed Spread, Do I get a discount if I bring my own bedding otherwise I'm out.
Is it available as Section 8 Housing?....That place is SO tacky that instant vaporization would be much preferred rather than having to live in sterilized klitsch...
A "Banker Bunker" .... I weep for the Fuhrer .... and his pathetic little bunker in Berlin ?
"You have to buy it .... before we can tell you .... where it is !" Nancy Pelosi
Is this place gasoline proof.
Strategically poured gas would drive the inhabitants out like rats.
How about auto exhaust. Carbon monoxide's a bitch.
This thing is little more than glorified sleeping quarters. Look at the layout and facilities - it's all about consumption. Nothing about production.
Where are the food and fuel stores? Where is the machine shop? Where is the warehouse with essential equipment, raw materials, tools, and spare parts for everything? Where is the hydroponic garden? Where are the air, water, power, and sewage processing systems? On the surface? Great. Couldn't last in this shelter more than a few weeks before needing to surface and spend the bulk of your days exposed to whatever is up there maintaining all this gear and venturing out into the countryside struggling to obtain the basics along with everyone else despite having a $17.5M underground bed to sleep in back at home.
But you do get conference rooms and business centers. (Connected to the world not with satellite or short wave, but telco DSL lines!) Apparently after nuclear or biological disaster the most important concerns will be making powerpoint presentations to each other.
You still need to be able to trade stawks!
BTFD!
Keep your bunker.
I am already on borrowed time. After two times when I had to face my own mortality (and being in the zone of when I was told I would die), leaving this world seems like it will be a blessing.
... we can only to do what we are here to do. The question to answer for ourselves is why... or something Matrixish like that.
That comment will cost you your voting card, gramps. Hand it over. No more electoral participation for millenarians, nihilists, or the suicidal / mentally ill.
how to prove it ? If there is nuclear war, the client may be killed already... no one will be there to make a claim..
No word of testing the 20Kton rating. Ofcourse you can wait around long enough to find out
Does it come with nice soft, monogrammed, terry bathrobes?
Ha! 20 Kilotons won't even get you to first base.
What kind of credit score is required?
Can the "right" gender, color, or sexual orientation qualify for a no down, 10 year deferred payment loan?
i am more interested in the Apocalypse Archie Bunker, six pack of beer and a tin foil hat
Where are the cryo pods???
"Certified to withstand a 20 kiloton nuclear blast"
Who issues these certifications? I'd love to see that certificate.
"Withstand" at what range? 10 feet overhead? Or 500 miles away? ...what a ridiculous "certification"
20 kt would be a small tactical device.
And I think their internet connection and solar panels will probably need some warranty service from the Geek Squad.
Not to mention that they are going to find the caretakers safely locked inside while they pound on the doors and fruitlessly enter and re-enter their (now-changed) password.
No thank you. I'd just as soon have a nice lounge outside (assuming the weather is nice), a bottle of Laphroig 32 year old scotch, and a case of beer in the cooler so I can sit back and watch the show until I get vaporized. I want nothing to do with this world now, why the f**k would I want to be around in a highly radioactive aftermath?
ok you got in.. I want to see the plan for getting out? pick and shovel aint gonna move 20kt of dirt and rock melted over your head
You'll need an underground garage full of mining equipment.
Just goes to show, some of the oligarch psychopaths think they can survive nuclear war. If they think they are going to survive they are dreaming, I am first going to shit down their air intake pipe and then bury them for posterity.
I don't suppose they'd accept a check, would they?
That will be a nice abandoned bunker to squat in someday.
Tyler gets ten times more hits per war porn article than per finance article, for which the site is reputedly famous for.
These days finance articles are pure bullshite.
Nobody knows whats going on. It all should have crashed by now.
Largest ever in world history DETONATED was this one.
Weighed 60,000#'s, in 1961( Ve have come long vay since den).
The Tsar Bomba was a three-stage bomb with Trutnev-Babaev[6] second and third stage design,[7] with a yield of 50 to 58 megatons of TNT (210 to 240 PJ).[8] This is equivalent to about 1,350–1,570 times the combined power of the bombs that destroyed Hiroshima and Nagasaki,[9] 10 times the combined power of all the conventional explosives used in World War II, one quarter of the estimated yield of the 1883 eruption of Krakatoa, and 10% of the combined yield of all nuclear tests to date. A three-stage H-bomb uses a fission bomb primary to compress a thermonuclear secondary, as in most H-bombs, and then uses energy from the resulting explosion to compress a much larger additional thermonuclear stage. There is evidence that the Tsar Bomba had several third stages rather than a single very large one.[10]
First of all, your bunker would need to be tied to the subway system, so's you can get around. Then you also need the right to shoot any pale-looking crazies that worship the bomb.
