Silohome
During the 1950s and 1960s, the U.S. government built hundreds of Atlas-F missile silos in preparation for a nuclear attack that never came. Most of these silos were abandoned, but Bruce Francisco and Gregory Gibbons acquired one in New York’s Adirondack State Park and transformed it into an underground haven.
Silohome sits atop a 1,350-foot mountain overlooking the Saranac River Valley and is surrounded by acres of untouched wilderness, which means it’s ideal for many of your post-apocalyptic duties: farming, hunting and fishing. On the surface it features a hangar, living room with fireplace and a wraparound porch, but the best stuff is below ground. In what was once the 2,300-square-foot launch control center there are now three bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, a living area and a kitchen.
Don’t feel safe enough? Well, there’s always the 20,000-square-foot silo that’s connected to the underground living quarters via a tunnel complete with “Star Wars doors.” It’s the perfect place to stockpile canned goods and ammunition, or you can give it a home makeover so you and the family can kick back and enjoy the nuclear winter in comfort. Buy it now for just $2.3 million — cash only.

So it goes with the man that stores up treasures for himself, but is not rich toward god...-new testament-
How High is the water Moma?

I'll bet this guy was a college student. If he graduated he must be an engneer.
how much will it be worth in 2013?
A sawed off shotgun, three candles, two boxes of matches, ammunition, a bag of rice cakes, and a bundle of wood.
So.... if I were a suspicious Soviet era missile site commander, I would believe that all of the United States' undergroung missile silos were absolutely not under US military control, and had no missiles in them, so.... I wouldn't target them. Hmmmmmmmmm.

this is brilliant, i am going to buy this in a few months time... orrr do you think its cheaper to build it in my back garden...
I'd rather duke it out when a zombie apocalypse occurs. And I would love that to happen.
No problem!
If "2012" happens i wonder what use any of these "shelters" will actually be? What if for example there were massive earthquakes..would your shelter survive them? What if there was a drop in the level of your chosen shelter?...would you survive only to find your shelter at the bottom of a new ocean ? It makes no difference as to where and hwo you take shelter....if we are really looking at the type of destruction as shown in " 2012" then nowhere is going to be safe !
it could be safe for initial stages but no nothing is indestructable floods good boy :)
