Perturbed by Politics? Here Are 7 Doomsday Digs Perfect for Preppers

With an election bound to leave at least 40% of Americans deeply, profoundly unhappy, the oft-frozen tundra of Canada suddenly appears warm and inviting. But why head over the border when you can bug out and retreat (at least until 2020) on American soil? You can escape the election fallout without all that passport hassle.

In that vitriolic vein, we dug up seven self-described prepper properties. We uncovered a castle, a dome, and an actual decommissioned missile silo. Whichever retreat you choose, these seven prepper homes should withstand either outcome November brings. In the words of Jon Snow, “Winter is coming…”

6545 El Portal Rd SE, Deming NM

Price: $129,900
Prepper’s delight: At only 3,200 feet with two bedrooms, this “ultimate man cave” might sound small at first blush. However, this warehouse-style house, which was built in 2004, sits on 60 acres of fenced land. The house features three 16-foot roll-up doors leading into a room that can hold up to six vehicles and has a workshop area and half-bath.

6469 Cutcane Rd, Mineral Bluff, GA

Price: $149,000
Prepper’s delight: Few prepper homes scream relaxation, but this A-frame cabin looks downright cozy. Built with “old pine boards” and featuring wood-burning stoves with a double-sided stone fireplace, this cabin has plenty of rustic charm to comfort you should there be an apocalypse. Plus there’s no worrying about pesky neighbors—the 1977-built home sits on a 13-acre lot in the mountains.

1501 Road 215, Pine Bluffs, WY

Price: $2.5 million
Prepper’s delight: Pop quiz. How many square feet does this home (pictured below) have? Fifteen hundred? Two thousand? Three thousand? No, no, and no. What you see is just the top of a living space that clocks in at 16,596 square feet. That’s because the majority of the home resides within an old missile silo, which was decommissioned in 1965. The silo offers 6-foot-thick concrete walls. If you’re expecting guests, the home comes with seven bedrooms.

10984 Mill Creek Rd, Anaconda, MT

Price: $2.3 million
Prepper’s delight: This enormous and remote lodge is situated on a wonderfully isolated 160 acres of mountainous land. Built in 2005 with 10 bedrooms, the home is not only powered by wind and solar energy, it also comes with its own elk herd in case you’re into the whole self-sustaining thing.

12140 S Us Hwy, Micanopy, FL

Price: $487,000
Prepper’s delight: Listed as a “Doomsday Prepper Special,” this home uses an ancient form of defensive architecture. Namely, the fortifications of a castle. Accessible through an iron-gated drive, the home features reinforced rebar walls, security bars on windows and doors, and a backup generator. Bonus: Rooftop turrets offer the ability to see exactly who’s on the way.

3012 E Juniper Dr, Yucca, AZ

Price: $178,000
Prepper’s delight: You’ll need to put on your thinking cap to complete this dome home. Built in 2006, the 2,100-square-foot house is unfinished down to the studs on the inside. However, it’s been grandfathered in with all the permits, and the property apparently has “no restrictions,” so your prepper’s paradise is in its nascent stages. While the acreage is unlisted, an adjacent 40-acre lot is for sale. Perhaps a prepper colony of dome homes is in order?

999 Walnut Ridge Rd, Asbury, WV

Price: $375,000
Prepper’s delight: Nestled on a 28-acre lot, this three-bedroom home will appeal to the laid-back prepper. Fishing and hunting are nearby but the neighbors aren’t. This pastoral place seems like a perfect antidote for our country’s political headache.
