One-of-a-Kind and Ultimately Private Underground Bunker in Georgia Hits the Market for $17.5 Million

ATLANTA, GA – Harry Norman, Realtors, the exclusive affiliate of Christie’s International Real Estate in Atlanta, announces the first listing of a privately owned, luxury underground facility and bunker designed to withstand a 20 kiloton nuclear blast.

Located in Southeast, GA, 10 miles from Interstate 75 and two hours from Savannah, this unique property was built in 1969 for $7 million ($100 million today) during the height of the Cold War to preserve vital communications between military bases. It was fully renovated to government and EPA standards in 2012 and is now the only privately owned underground bunker of its kind in the United States.

In addition to being a unique home and family compound, the property has potential as a private recording studio, a detox or medical treatment center, a corporate retreat, an unrivalled safe zone, and so much more,” says listing agent Sister Hood.

Above ground, what appears to be a small and non-descript industrial warehouse, offers 2,000 square feet of commercial space and a renovated 1,000 square foot caretaker’s home with no hint as to what lies 45-feet below ground. The self-sustaining bunker, with 14,000 square feet of living and working space, includes three-foot-thick cement walls, a power plant with solar backup, a secure air intake system, water supplied by a 300-foot aquifer, and a spring system throughout to absorb a nuclear explosion.

The facility is situated on 32 acres with two levels of underground living space. Level two features four luxury apartments, each approximately 600 square feet in size. Each apartment is totally self-contained with a dedicated security system and two full bedrooms, a kitchen and dining area, a living room with TV, internet and a large bathroom.

Level one of the underground facility features common areas similar to a luxury hotel. Guests can enjoy the large home theater with seating for 15, a commercial grade kitchen, staff quarters, a recreation area, a library and TV room. The facility is equipped with a full workshop, a separate business and conference center and fully equipped medical room.
