A self-sustaining apocalypse bunker has gone on the market, and it's perfect for anyone who feels the need to prepare for nuclear war or a Last of Us-style apocalypse.
Nestled in the rolling hills of Mountain Grove, Missouri, just an hour outside of Springfield, the custom-built underground property is the ideal place to hunker down and wait out whatever disaster is going on above. And it's a relatively reasonable price too, on the market with Special Finds for £235,000 ($299,900).
Boasting complete self-sustainability, the three-bedroom home includes two bathrooms, a fully-functional kitchen with a gas oven and stove top, dining area, laundry room and a pantry. There is also central heating and a fresh air intake.
The property comes with a fully functional kitchen (Jam Press/SpecialFinds.com)The bunker was designed to be inviting, comfortable and warm - rather than cold, concrete and military. It even has a full-size shower and bathtub as well as regular toilets, instead of composting toilets.
And it's not exactly a small space, spanning 1,250ft it should help with feelings of claustrophobia. The bunker includes a 500-gallon liquid propane gas tank, an 80-foot tall antenna tower and a 24/7 surveillance system with a gate - making it pretty self-sustainable.

A full surveillance system is handy to keep an eye out for any intruders, or just have a nosy to see what's going on above ground (Jam Press/SpecialFinds.com)The entire property is fenced in, meaning any unwelcome visitors would be faced with a barrier, which could easily be reinforced if we were in an apocalyptic setting. Surveillance cameras would also make it easy to keep an eye on your bunker, spotting intruders before they could invade your safe haven.
It lies on 2.4 acres of land with its own orchard trees ready to bare fruit, and a spring-fed creek for fresh water and plenty of gardening areas. It means there's plenty of room to plant your own crops to help make life in the bunker even more sustainable.
The property has three bedrooms and was designed to be warm and inviting, for a bunker that is (Jam Press/SpecialFinds.com)Two lawn and garden sheds allow ample outside storage space with an additional insulated garage and shop building with space for one and a half cars. Located in the Ozarks, the bunker is surrounded by natural beauty.
The area is home to fellow like-minded preppers. This would allow unlimited bartering opportunities if we were to face an apocalyptic event as there are dairy and cattle farms just a mile away.
The property has full bathrooms with plumbed toilets as opposed to compost toilets (Jam Press/SpecialFinds.com)Many people in the area also sell fresh milk and eggs, meaning if we were to face a zombie apocalypse, there would be limited need to leave the safety of the area to try and head to any stores.
Mountain Grove is a city straddling Wright county and Texas county in Missouri. It has a population of less than 5,000 with the 2019 population estimate sitting at 4,690 residents.
According to the Mountain Grove Chamber of Commerce it's: "One of the friendliest, most picturesque small towns in the Ozarks". The area has a rural feel and is surrounded by beautiful scenery.
