Whether you’re a survivalist, a die-hard military enthusiast or you’re searching for a truly unique conversion project, these deserted dwellings are sure to seduce.

Secluded on 18 acres of land in Central Kansas, USA, the North Star Silo is a fantastic opportunity for those seeking the ultimate survivalist sanctuary. On the market for a mere $989,000 (£699k), the underground complex has a long and fascinating history.

The former government Atlas F launch site was constructed in 1960 and is located almost 200 feet below the ground. The bunker can be accessed via a nuclear-proof door that leads into a secret tunnel to the interior. Ultra-strong and secure, the building was constructed to survive 500 mile-per-hour winds and cost a cool $110 million (£78m) to complete, the listing suggests.

Inside, the abandoned launch silo spans almost 13,000 square feet and boasts enough room to construct a 17-storey hardened apartment complex, with a staggering 2,000 square feet of space per floor, Survival Realty states. The Launch Control area spans around 2,500 square feet over two separate levels and is ready and waiting to be turned into a safe house, or climate controlled facility.

What's more, fresh water, electricity, sewage systems and high-speed fibre internet access are already in place at the bunker, meaning this listing is definitely a low-maintenance option for those with less time and funds to undertake a big project. Plus, a protective fence and solar-powered security gate have already been installed, offering secure access control 24 hours a day. 

The bunker is just one of 12 impenetrable underground silos that were built in Central Kansas during the Cold War. The North Star Silo is the most complete and developable facility of its kind to ever be offered for sale, making it a truly unmissable opportunity. 

If you're looking for a weird and wonderful home that is entirely unique, then look no further. Known as the Nottingham War Rooms, this unassuming property was built in 1952 and later extended during the Cold War. With history, privacy and character in abundance, this one-of-a-kind listing won't be around for long...

The Grade II-listed military bunker was designed to maintain the British government in the event of a nuclear attack and was even constructed to survive radioactive fallout. The structure lies mostly below the ground and is fondly known in the local area as 'The Kremlin'. 

Inside, the colossal compound offers almost 52,000 square feet of space, meaning this underground retreat could be turned into a prepper community or made into a home-come-business space. Fascinating and unique in equal measure, this abandoned bunker is certainly one for those with imagination.

The building is split over four large floors, so there's ample room for sleeping, cooking, dining and unwinding. Of course, being below the ground the War Rooms could do with some additional windows and much work would be needed in order to render the spaces liveable. The property also sits on almost five acres of land, which could easily be developed.

Everywhere you look you'll find traces of the building's past, from its authentic BBC TV studio, which would have been used to broadcast in the event of disaster, to its 'Tube Exchange', one of only two remaining 1960s Lamson tube systems in the UK today. What's even better, the listing is offered with no guide price!

Sitting on almost six acres of land and enclosed by security fencing and gates, this former communications bunker benefits from steel-lined walls, making it entirely resistant to electromagnetic energy. Dating back to 1972, the bunker lies below the ground in rural Mount Vernon, Ohio, and offers plenty of exterior space for further development.

Listed for $800,000 (£565k), this nuclear hideaway offers plenty of bang for your buck. The grounds are filled with mature trees, lush rolling hills and farmland that's just waiting to be put to good use. Thanks to its position and seclusion, the estate also benefits from stunning, 360-degree views across the surrounding landscape. There's even a 177-foot tower on-site, the perfect place from which to keep a lookout.

Across the estate, there are several outbuildings, including a four-bay garage with a work area, totalling 2,000 square feet of above-ground space. As for the bunker itself, blast doors keep unwanted visitors at bay, while secure ventilation shafts provide the underground living rooms with fresh air, without compromising on the safety of anyone inside.

The nuclear-hardened hideaway offers 6,000 square feet of underground space over two floors and features three-tonne functional hoists, which will allow you to move deliveries below ground with ease. For electricity, the bunker comes with 1000 amp power and boasts two five-kilowatt diesel generators for emergency backup, as well as a 200-kilowatt gas turbine generator. There's also a bathroom with a decontamination shower, should you be exposed to any hazardous materials.

As well as all this, the bunker features 12-foot ceilings so you'll never feel claustrophobic plus two sewage ejector pumps, an electrical control room and three mechanical rooms where you can keep track of your energy supplies. Allowing you to live entirely off-grid, the underground retreat also comes with an on-site well and sewage system, as well as water storage tanks and a hot water heater. With this property, you’ll have everything you need to safely see out the end of the world.

Are you seeking solitude, seclusion and security in one? Well, then this almost invisible earth shelter might just be to your liking. For sale with the Western Montana Group for $1.7 million (£1.2m), the unique hidden home can be found on the edge of Yellowstone National Park, Montana, and has plenty to make you smile...

Nestled on almost 11 acres of land, the estate was designed for off-grid living and is made up of four underground earth shelters that have been partially turned into homes – although much work is needed to render them truly suitable for day-to-day life. The homes can be accessed via ultra-secure blast doors that lead to underground warrens.

In total, the parcel boasts 14,000 square feet of underground living space. Each shelter was substantially built with expert structural engineering and comes with access to a water system, a HVAC system and septic tanks. While some of the inside spaces have been utilised as bedrooms and kitchens, other areas contain important equipment.

According to the listing, the property cost $2.4 million (£1.7m) to construct, so the new owner is in for somewhat of a bargain. Described as a "once-in-a-blue-moon offering", the underground sanctuary could be used as a family safe house, or even turned into a unique vacation rental.

In total, you'll find 19 bedrooms and three bathrooms inside this strange and surreal subterranean shelter. What's more, many of these bunkrooms have previously been rented out, bringing in a substantial income. This means that the new owner of these now-abandoned earth shelters could buy a house with a job thrown in! We don't know about you, but we're sold...

If you're looking to hunker down in New York state, then this abandoned underground silo has heaps of potential. Located in the quiet hamlet of Ellenburg Center, on the northern tip of the Adirondacks, the former missile launch facility would have cost hundreds of millions of dollars to build back in 1980. 

Sitting on almost nine acres of private land, the Atlas missile silo is surrounded by a seven-foot chain-link fence with a secure gate, meaning you and your family would be safe and sound inside your own private compound. Offering around 3,612 square feet of underground space, the earth shelter's original storage building, the Quonset Hut, has already been converted into a residence with a two-car garage.

If your main objective is to find somewhere that's safe from a natural disaster, then this is the place for you. The steel super-structure offers impenetrable walls, doors, ceilings and floors formed from the toughest of materials, while the main interior spaces are located deep underground for maximum security. 

Positioned 12 hours from the nearest major cities in the north and east of the state, this abandoned bunker is perfectly secluded. Boasting enough space for six bedrooms and four bathrooms, the redundant missile bunker comes equipped with lighting and a forced-air central heating system. Yet there is much to be done in order to render the property fit for modern living, making this listing one for those with imagination and patience.

What's more, the silo's extensive grounds come with various outbuildings that are waiting to be put to better use, as well as a reinforced cement slab helicopter pad for whenever you need to make a speedy escape. As far as affordable underground bunkers for sale go, this is up there with the best of them. Currently for sale with Select Sotheby's International Realty, this impressive subterranean world is sure to be snapped up quickly.

In the period leading up to the Second World War, Mediterranean islands such as Mallorca – part of Spain’s Balearic archipelago – had to prepare for the possibility of sieges by Germany due to their prime geographic location as a pitstop between mainland Europe and Africa.

Built in 1935, this deserted military barrack is located right on the coast of Llucmajor – one of the southernmost municipalities on the island. It is now being sold as a stunning estate and is on the market for a cool $5.4 million (£3.9m).

There are several structures within the estate, including the old military base and all its associated buildings, a residence and an underground bunker with an intricate layout of galleries, rooms and tunnels.

If your budget is somewhat smaller, then this listing might be for you. Constructed in 1961, this bunker for sale is one of some 1,560 underground hideouts built in the UK in response to the nuclear threat posed during the Cold War. This one listed on Unique Property Bulletin, near the village of Brundall in Norfolk, survived the defence cutbacks of the mid-60s, which saw over half of the bunkers closed, with many subsequently demolished. 

Instead, the site was used for military training until 1991 when the Soviet Union collapsed. It's thought that there are fewer than 900 of these bunkers still standing in the UK, with many suffering from years of neglect and damage from flooding and vandalism. Fortunately, this bunker has been beautifully preserved, and at $35,400 (£25k) it's one of the most affordable bunkers on the market. 

If you're seeking seclusion, security and spectacular scenery – and don't mind taking on an extreme fixer-upper – then Fort Montgomery could be for you. This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity will allow one lucky house hunter to purchase a real-life, historic fort on the edge of Lake Champlain, on the border of Canada and the USA.

Dating back to 1844, Fort Montgomery was the second stone fortification to be built on the American side of Lake Champlain. The stone structure was designed to defend the Northern Frontier and played an important role in the American Civil War. During construction, 400 stonecutters and masons worked on the fort, which at one time boasted 48-foot walls and gun emplacements for 125 cannons over three floors.

The local area, Rouses Point, also has a long and fascinating history. During the prohibition in the 1920s, the town's close proximity to the border made it the perfect spot for rum-running and speakeasies. This postcard, which was produced between 1930 and 1945, shows the military facility in all its former glory.

The historic fortress was formed from thousands of tonnes of grey limestone that were quarried in Isle LaMotte. The very same limestone was used in the construction of the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC and Radio City Music Hall in New York City. Highly durable and incredibly tough, the structure offers plenty of interior space that's just waiting to be transformed into an ultra-secure doomsday bunker.

Sitting on eight acres of land, the army-grade structure benefits from 6,900 feet of shoreline frontage and space for multiple private boat docks. Available via Adirondack Country Homes Realty, this incredible secure fortress could be all yours for $995,000 (£704k).

Described by RE/MAX as 'one of America’s most unique and secure sites', this decommissioned Atlas F missile silo has safety and style in bucket loads. Situated on the outskirts of Abilene in Kansas, USA, the former silo was one of the world's first to be designed to survive a nuclear strike, making this listing ideal for anyone seeking an impenetrable fortress to wait out a global pandemic...

The super-hardened structure sits on 11 acres of land and is surrounded by a secure barbed wire fence. On the site, you'll find a colossal underground missile complex with its own electricity and sewage facilities and a 4,000-square-foot Quonset building with a standalone storeroom, which both come with working utilities. There's even a private well, which can cater to all your water needs and enable you to live entirely off-the-grid.

The nuclear-resistant bunker is located 170 feet below the ground and consists of a main missile silo and a Launch Control Centre (LCC), which covers two 1,200-square-foot floors. The LCC was originally used to house the men who monitored the silo and although there's lots of work to be done to make the abandoned building liveable, it offers plenty of cool and quirky features that make it truly unique.

The ideal homestead for a survivalist with a passion for DIY, the decommissioned silo offers enough room for you and everyone you know to take cover. Secure doors lead from the secluded lot, down a flight of stairs to the underground world. Concrete walls, steel staircases and heavy-duty doors make the space feel entirely impenetrable, while large, open rooms will ensure you never feel hemmed in. The property also offers numerous outbuildings that could be transformed into additional living quarters.

With so much space at your disposal, the property could easily be built out or transformed to fill any role you like! What's even better, the current owner of the bunker has already successfully built his own separate Atlas F silo to live in, and is available to assist the new owner with any development works they might choose to undertake. If you have $420,000 (£297k) going spare, then this former military base could be all yours.
