This listing comes days after an 80-acre property with three three-bedroom homes on 5,300 square feet, built into the land with thick stone walls and disguised with grass roofs, went on sale for $1.1 million in Wisconsin.
Photos of the complex show its wide expanse of land, filled with trees for timber and room for a small livestock property and a shooting range.
The current owner of the complex, Jonathan Allen. he told USA TODAY: ‘If there were people around, (or) old enough to remember the fear of the year 2000, I think (the families) would be very strategic and intelligent.’
The complex was built “by preppers, for preppers” in Wisconsin, near Lake Superior.
The house is built on the hill and camouflaged with grass on its roof.
He said the previous owners were “self-sufficient.”
The property is state-of-the-art with two wells, a machine shop, a shooting range and a separate building that used to house a diesel generator.
