If you're a prepper or someone looking for insurance against the zombie apocalypse (should it arise) or maybe just a homebody looking to hide from your neighbors, this newly listed Douglas County home ― or maybe more accurately, compound ― might be right for you.
Located on 80 private acres near Superior, Wis., this home at 5312 S. Stone Road in South Range was recently listed for $1.1 million by realtor Leah Hollenbach of RE/MAX Results.
South-facing exterior at 5312 S. Stone Road. The compound in South Range, Wis., was built by families preparing for Y2K.
At the terminus of a dead-end road and built into the Earth for camouflage, it's truly the perfect place to hide out from brain-eating, undead creatures ... or just enjoy the solitude of nature. The complex features a grass-covered living roof, which helps with insulation and staying hidden from eyes above.
"This truly unique underground home is built to stand the test of time with a stone and mortar exterior, a living roof on top of a newer rubber roof laid over Spancrete (and) pre-stressed hollow core ceiling slabs for the ultimate in strength and durability," the listing says. "The walls and interior structure are a mixture of poured concrete in high-load areas and concrete block in other areas to create storage rooms and interior walls."

The property, which includes three residential units, was recently featured on the popular real estate TikTok account "Homes.tastrophes." Each unit has three bedrooms, one full bathroom, and a kitchen with a pantry and storage spaces.
The custom triplex has multiple large common spaces, including an upper-level lobby, which provides access to the upper two units, a stone-walled courtyard and stairs to the living roof.
The lower level offers about 2,520 square feet of common space, which includes a partial bathroom, cedar-lined sauna, room for a machine shop, a canning kitchen, access to the attached eight-car garage and more.
