ultimatesecurehome.com — Strategically located in the mountains of Southwest Colorado, this patented steel-reinforced concrete earth home was built to withstand almost any natural or man-made disaster you can name. Yet still has a level of comfort that one might not expect to find in an underground home. Also has OFFGRID solar power backup and natural gas heating.

This guy is a "little" bit paranoid..."According to Schirard, "Today, you'll find at least one gun in about 75 percent of all homes in the county. We're just Second Amendment kind of people around here," This is just one of many positive aspects of this area."*Positive*?"Furthermore, while there is little disagreement among those who are truly well informed that a nuclear attack is inevitable"

looks like someone listens to alex jones, the power hour or jack blood, cuz they pimp this thing hard on gcn commercials. i'm all for living off-grid, but this is over the top.

Houses that are underground don' t have to be ugly and small.My grandpa built a huge house into the side of a mountain:<a class="user" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=Eagle,+ID+83616&ie=UTF8&z=18&ll=43.749823,-116.284441&spn=0.002937,0.006781&t=h&om=1">http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=Eagle,+ID+83616&ie=UTF8&z=18&ll=43.749823,-116.284441&spn=0.002937,0.006781&t=h&om=1</a>Granted he called it the "Bomb shelter" in joke, he built it because he happened to own the local stone company.The house was built in 7-levels spiraling (not floors)1: Garage, big enough to drive a semi with trailer inside.2: Walk-in Pantry and guest room complete with shower and bathroom3: Canery and normal 1 car garage4: Huge living room5: Laundry room, 1/2 bath, office, Kitchen, dining room, walk-in pantry6: Master bedroom with bath, large guest bedroom, large bathroom, stone lined hot-tub, show with about 5 different fixtures inside, and sun-room.7: Wet bar, lounge, large office.Outside:Stone deck with spiral starcase on the 7th level.Underground swimming pool with bath.It wasn't dark and dingy, all levels have large outside facing windows that bring light in.There is no need for A/C, only a single woodburning stove in the living room is needed to keep the house warm in the winter.Unfortunenly it's no longer in the family.
