Did you ever wish that you could relocate to a fortress in which you could wait out the Zombie Apocalypse? Well, for the mere price of $649,000, a fortress can be yours. The 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom home is on 4 wooded acres.
On the market in Yelm, Washington, is a prepper castle waiting for a family of survival-minded people. Sadly, there’s no moat, but there is a little pond in the back.
Yelm, according to Wikipedia, is a city in Thurston County with a population of 6,848
The home boasts of just about everything a prepper could want:
- The walls are made from fire-proof concrete, poured 2 feet thick. This moderates the temperature and protects the occupants from all but the very heaviest of artillery.
- The house is ready to function off grid, should the need arise.
- The crenalations on the roof look like excellent places from which to defend the castle.
- The basement is protected by a Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical filter, keeping occupants safe in the event of a nuclear attack, a deadly pandemic, or biological warfare.
- The basement has bunkrooms for sleeping, in the event the family needs to hunker down.
- Small windows would make the home difficult to breach.
The pantry in the basement is so lovely that we stockpile-minded folks could probably write poetry to it. (Although in a castle, I think the proper term is “larder”.)
For your pre-apocalypse needs, the home’s interior is filled with lovely touches, like arched doorways, a copper sink in the chef’s kitchen, and a large, rustic fireplace.
A girl can dream, right? If you happen to have more money kicking around than I do, you can find the listing HERE.
Wow! Neat home! 🙂
me like….even has defense perimeter…a few sensors, and good to go.
I actually do not find that price to be too bad! 😀 Let’s pitch in and get it together!
Wow Daisy! You sure know how to pick them! Amazing house….errr….fortress 🙂
I see that you are moving! Right now you live very close to me. I find some comfort in that. Are you leaving CA? I have often thought of moving out of CA but this drought is kind of pushing me to consider it more seriously. I imagine the area surrounding the above property gets a lot of rain 🙂
Hi Kat – nope, staying in the area. Just moving to a place with land and a barn so I can extend my homesteading efforts 🙂

Yes, it’s really nice to have some land and a barn, although I have filled my barn and land with things that I probably should not be keeping. (“Gee, I might need that someday!”) Funny how “precious stuff” expands to fill the space. LOL!
I live in Apple Hill. I do love the beautiful CA foothills. Now if we can just get this water situation resolved!
I feel so bad for them selling the place. It must have been a horrific reason to do so.
