A property featuring strong construction, secure shutters, a self-sufficient ecosystem, and fruitful gardens is a dream come true for preppers and survival enthusiasts.
Located in New Brunswick, Canada, this home reminiscent of a property which featured on HBO's 'The Last of Us', is designed to withstand any doomsday scenario.
The windows are equipped with robust cast-iron locked shutters, creating a secure atmosphere akin to a bolt-hole from the popular HBO show.
Furthermore, the grounds feature a self-sufficient micro-climate ecosystem, adding to the property's appeal.
The HBO show, which is based on a video game, features zombies infected with a real parasitic fungus called Ophiocordyceps unilateralis that can take over the brains and bodies of insects, turning them into real-life zombies.
Spanning 2,000 square feet, this home is a testament to resilience.
Its foundation boasts an astonishing 30-inch thickness, while the upper walls are constructed with two-foot-thick bricks that were meticulously sewn by hand over a four-year period during the 1780s.
Many original features of the house have been preserved, including the charming bubble windows with interior shutters, complete with sturdy cast-iron locks to provide peace of mind regarding access to the property.
Inside, the dining room showcases original wooden beams, and the house boasts three interior fireplaces, including one decorative fireplace.
The property encompasses three bedrooms and a bathroom, ensuring ample space for comfortable living.
But the allure doesn't end there—situated on 3.5 acres of land, this home is surrounded by a protected micro-climate ecosystem, shielded on three sides by majestic trees.
The property offers additional self-sufficiency with its own fruit orchards, yielding a variety of delectable apples, pears, plums, kiwis, and grapes.
Additionally, there are two expansive garden plots, perfect for organic gardening.
The nutrient-rich bottomland topsoil, over 30 inches deep, has been nurtured for over 1,000 years, providing an ideal environment for cultivating bountiful produce.
In the event of inclement weather, the property provides a 28-by-40-foot greenhouse and an attached garage, catering to individuals seeking self-reliance.
With a foundation built to last for eternity—30 inches thick—and walls constructed from hand-hewn stones, meticulously transported by boat over four years in the 1780s, this house gained fame as 'The Prepper's House.'
Nestled within stunning three-acre grounds, the property enjoys a micro-climate ecosystem protected on three sides by magnificent trees.
The area features an array of mature trees, including black and white walnut, oak, elm, chestnut, and false acacia, enhancing the natural beauty of the surroundings.
This exceptional doomsday prepper-ready home is listed at £715K and guarantees a combination of historical charm, self-sufficiency, and fortitude that will endure any challenge that comes its way.
