This home used to be a nuclear fallout shelter

Hidden among the stunning hills off of Paradise Valley, Montana is the state's largest bunker community. Current resident Dean Anderson fell in love with the area after visiting for a fishing trip and went on to buy an abandoned 1980s nuclear fallout shelter. With the help of young men struggling with life for various reasons, Dean converted the three-storey underground shelter into a unique space.
