With war, the rise of AI, and a recent pandemic to contend with, the protection provided by a self-sufficient hideaway has never been more attractive. While some are looking for a safe and secluded bunker to call their own, others seek to build a survival community, where they can see out a disaster with their closest friends and family members.

If that sounds like you, then this 14-person survival bunker in the Texas wilderness is sure to tempt you.

For sale with Keller Williams Metropolitan for $1.1 million, the remote bunker is positioned on 120 acres of land in Houston County around 8 miles from the small town known as Lovelady. With a population of just 570, this historic railway town dates back to the 1870s but still has a high school, a post office, a gas station, a pizzeria and a doughnut shop within a 10-minute drive from the site.

The estate is forested pine timberland, which means the buyer will be able to establish their own timber company, should they wish to. The listing specifies there are: "varying ages of pine plantation with intermixed hardwoods [that] cover the property." Plus, hunting here is big, making this listing ideal for anyone looking to be self-sufficient and live off their land.

Of course, there’s plenty of room to self-build a home or two, but there’s also ample space for a few extra bunkers – preppers’ compound, anyone? There’s already a 1,000-square-foot bunker in place on the property, the steel trap door to which is hidden among the trees.

The underground shelter was formed from concrete and steel, making it super-secure. Inside, it’s bright and spacious, with impenetrable doors, simple carpets and cream walls.

Essentially, it’s a blank canvas that’s waiting for a makeover.

Already set up as a renovated bunker, it features an open-plan kitchen with a dining space. Not exactly stylish, the room could do with a refresh, but it's perfectly serviceable, should the buyer wish to move in straight away. 

There's also a large vacant room that could be utilized as a lounge, media room or even an extra bedroom. At the moment, the bunker easily sleeps 14 people, but with a little reconfiguration, the buyer could increase this to accommodate everyone they know.

The abandoned bunker also benefits from access to a water well and, while it's secluded and private, it's also conveniently located approximately 35 minutes from Huntsville and 20 minutes from Crockett, so you'll be able to reconnect with the wider community whenever you feel the need. If you're keen to snap up this incredible rural compound, then what are you waiting for?

If you have a bigger budget to play with, then you could get your hands on an ultra-private and secure compound in rural Prescott, Arizona. Listed with The Brokery for $629,000, the near 10-acre estate is brimming with opportunities.

For starters, the gated property is surrounded by peaks and troughs, thanks to its position close to Granite Mountain, Williamson Valley and Prescott National Forest – so, if you’re seeking a place that will allow you to switch off from the digital world and immerse yourself in nature, this listing is for you. For your money, you'll gain this concrete structure, which is waiting to be transformed into a home.

The property also benefits from a small, underground well-house bunker, situated behind a secure steel trap door. It might be super compact, but the space could easily be utilized as a hideout, should the worst happen.

Otherwise, the fenced property is just 20 minutes from local stores.

Head down the ladder and you'll find yourself in a small but light-filled storage room. But remove the shelving and belongings, and you should have enough space to install some bunk beds, a small kitchenette and a bathroom of some kind.

The estate also comes complete with a well drilled over 700 feet below the surface and a septic system, both of which are capable of supporting more than one residence. A 2,200-square-foot heated concrete slab has also been poured with radiant pipes and plumbing.

There’s even APS electricity, working solar panels, propane tanks, and a 40-foot shipping container that could be converted into an amazing home.

Described by the listing as “truly the safest 'bunker' on the planet,” this subterranean space is hiding nearly 200 feet underground, on a fenced and gated nine-acre plot, in an undisclosed area of central Kansas.

Known as the Rolling Hills Missile Silo, it was originally constructed in the 1960s to withstand “a nuclear blast or comparable natural disaster” and cost over $150 million to build in today's money. One of several ATLAS missile silos built by the US Government during the Cold War, the prepper’s dream home recently hit the market for $1.3 million.

Utilizing highly advanced technology, these government bunkers were constructed by engineering scientists to survive a nuclear attack, catastrophic storms, and more. This one was built with nine-foot thick reinforced concrete, measures 52 feet in diameter, and is 182 feet deep.

A whopping 600 tons of steel rebar was used alongside the concrete, though all that is visible from ground level is a secure, 7,000lb steel blast door...

Once safely inside, stairs descend over 180 feet underground across multiple levels – with surprisingly generous living space across each one. Now, after months of "hard labor," the former control center has been fully restored and freshly painted ready to house a lucky new resident.

A 40-foot tunnel leads from the control center to the missile silo and described as ‘turn-key’ by the listing, the property is large enough to accommodate an 18-story building inside. Impressive!

The brilliant bunker comes with a list of potential uses – from a two-story safe house beneath a private home you could build above, to a training camp base and target range. There’s plenty of space for a large solar field and the ideal conditions for wind turbine installation, too. 

The property also includes some vital utilities: there are two septic tanks onsite, while county water is found at the driveway entrance and power is a quarter of a mile away. A generator is currently used to operate lights and it is said to be easy to connect solar or wind power.

It's suggested that the epic 18-story silo itself could be converted into a multi-level underground residence or corporate headquarters. As each level stretches out across 2,000 square feet, you could even decide to sell them as individual apartments – ideal for doomsday preppers and solitary property hunters alike.

The 52-foot concrete silo cover could also be used as a helipad, conveniently placed for easy access. The listing even suggests converting the silo into a survivor-themed hotel.

In the period leading up to the Second World War, Mediterranean islands such as Mallorca – part of Spain’s Balearic archipelago – had to prepare for the possibility of sieges by Germany due to their prime geographic location as a pitstop between mainland Europe and Africa.

Built in 1935, this deserted military barracks is located right on the coast of Llucmajor – one of the southernmost municipalities on the island. It is now being sold as a stunning estate and is on the market for a cool €3.8 million ($4.1m).

The plot sits on a whopping 20.7 acres of land and is currently overgrown with shrubbery in its craggy location. Yet the constant sunshine and sweeping sea views really do make it a tropical paradise. Plus, the subzero corridor system will intrigue any history buff, conservationist, or survivalist.

There are several structures within the estate, including the old military base and all its associated buildings, a residence, and an underground bunker with an intricate layout of galleries, rooms and tunnels.

According to the listing, the military barracks come kitted out with eight bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a total of 5,758 square feet of inside space. Most of the property needs serious renovation, so the new owner will need to be willing to take on an extreme fixer-upper.
