Incredible underground Doomsday bunker has four cosy apartments to survive Apocalypse

An underground Doomsday bunker with nice kitchens and a rec room could be all yours for £1.24 million.

If you're looking for a home that will keep you extra safe, you could do worse than a new sustainably built property in Paradise Valley, Montana.

Sitting north of the Yellowstone National Park, you'd be guaranteed amazing views - although you'll have to enjoy them when you're outside of the property as there aren't any windows in the bunker.

The property, originally built as a fallout shelter, has four shelters - treated as separate apartments each with bedrooms, bathrooms a kitchen and communal living spaces.

One apartment is lucky enough to be equipped with a rec room complete with a pool table and foosball table for sporting fans out there.

Three out of the four shelters are around 2,500 square feet while the fourth is bigger.

And, if you happened to find yourself needing to lock in, each separate shelter has a basement where you could store food and other essentials.

The bunker is on the market for $1.725 million (£1.24 million).

You might be wondering what the deal is with heating. The bunkers are able to maintain temperatures of around 10C to 12C, but it has heating, ventilation and air conditioning built in to make sure you can find your perfect temperature.

Paradise Valley is beautiful, and perfect for outdoors types who love hiking, horseriding and fishing.

You may want to live in the bunker yourself and enjoy it's stunning surroundings, or it could be a great option to rent it out to holidaymakers as the area is so popular with tourists.

Bearing in mind what their original use was, the bunkers are designed with sharp, right-angle turns because nuclear material cannot go round corners, apparently.

Theresa Lunn, a listing agent on Realtor.com, is quoted on the site saying the owner of the bunker, also a builder, would be happy to offer another, new, above-ground property on top of the bunker for anyone willing to buy it.

"He would put a very nice [above-ground] home for an extra $240,000 onto the list price," Theresa said.

"Underneath the house, it would have a discrete entrance into shelter number four."

‘The additional house has not been built. He is offering that as a buyer package, if someone wanted that."

The owner even said he'd built an extra outside property if there was demand (realtor.com)

Speaker about the bunker's design, Theresa explained why there's such sharp, 90 degree angles.

"Any bunker worth its salt has to have those 90-degree turns, because nuclear and chemical material can’t go around [corners]," she said.

"That’s really one of those tips of the trade for guys that are building bunkers."

The listing on the Realtor website says: "Nestled in the beautiful Paradise Valley, just north of Yellowstone Park, sits a veryunique real estate offering: 10.6 rolling acres near the end of a quiet road.
