End-of-the-world enthusiasts rejoice: Here is an opportunity to make your doomsday living dreams come true.

Listed for $1.75 million in Shelbyville, Tennessee, is the most unusual, and cool, bunker you might ever see — mainly because it comes with some pretty vast additions, like an entire cave system.

“Nestled in Southern Bedford County Tennessee - Fabulous Homestead with 32-acres, additional building sites, 60, 000+/- square-foot Underground Cavern System and modern luxury located in southern Middle Tennessee,” the listing on Realtor says. “Welcome to one of the most unique and versatile properties on the market in 2025. Where high-end living meets unmatched potential.”

Don’t worry, there’s a primary home with two bedrooms and two bathrooms that were built in 2025, so you’re not sleeping on a cave floor.

Other features, per the listing, include:

  • Shop

  • RV hookup

  • ADU

  • Generator

  • Water filtration system

  • Cabins

  • Wooded area

  • Chicken coop

  • Shooting lodge

Now back to those caves.

“Cavern System 60, 000 square feet of private caverns, entry points are sealed with over 10 tons of steel, ceiling heights up to 30 feet, generator included, and natural spring water system that flows non stop 24/7/365,” the listing says. “Potential uses are endless safe haven, private retreat, underground event space or revenue generator.”

The property was featured on Zillow Gone Wild, a Facebook page that highlights interesting homes on the market. People were loving it.

“Prep for the upcoming zombie apocalypse - I’m there!” one person said.

“Buy it, turn it into a tourist attraction make a profit by second year. Still have a bunker AND a retirement plan,” another noted.

“This looks like the making of a new ‘Tremors’ movie!” someone joked.

Shelbyville is about a 60-mile drive southeast from Nashville.
