Doomsday firm builds Armageddon-proof bunkers in South Dakota for 5,000 people - but buyer beware you'll need $25,000 upfront for a 99-year lease
Vivos XPoint is spread out over nine miles in southwest South Dakota, the home of a former Army bomb storage areaConcrete and steel-walled underground bunkers are 26 feet wide and 80 feet long and will cost you $25,000 without plumbing, electricity or air filtration systems
You need to build out the bunker yourself with costs ranging from $25,000 to $200,000
The company plans to build a community school, church, garden and shooting range
The bunkers can withstand a 500,000-ton bomb
With nuclear escalation talk happening even before President-elect Donald Trump takes office, some might find now a good time to go shopping for an Armageddon survival bunker - if you can afford it.
A doomsday company has announced the arrival of Vivos XPoint, billed as the largest prepper community on Earth for those who think life above ground is doomed, and who can afford to do something about it.
Nine square miles in the fields of southwest South Dakota - far from nuclear targets, the company boasts - are the home of 575 bomb-resistant bunkers that can comfortably sleep 10 to 20 people each.
The underground bunkers are 26 feet wide and up to 80 feet long and above could be a typical layout that sleeps 10 to 20 people
Vivos says the nine-acre spread will be the largest survival community on Earth, set to house about 5000 people
The bunkers are about 26 feet wide and up to 80 feet long, and have enough room to keep enough supplies for 12 months, according to The Sun. What you do for supplies after those 12 months are up isn't exactly detailed.
The bunkers go for $25,000 for a 99-year lease, plus $1,000 annual maintenance fees. Buyer beware: bunkers sell as-is and you'll have to install your own plumbing, electrical and air filtration systems.
The bunkers are built underground in the fields of South Dakota, with steel and concrete walls that can withstand a 500,000-ton blast
The area has a roadway system, so you can drive to your new Armageddon-proof home
The area was built for the Army in the 1940s but stopped being used for that purpose in 1967
The company says a basic upgrade - including escape hatch, electrical wiring, fuel tank, and plumbing and air filtration - can cost between $25,000 and $200,000, depending on how many amenities you want.
That's all before you decorate - and since Amazon probably won't be making deliveries during the Apocalypse, you'll want to get furnishings you'll be happy with for a long time.

The Indiana shelter is comfortably furnished and decorates - above, an office, being a steel-reinforced door, of course
Each apartment contains private bathroom and kitchen, and can be designed to your taste
Preppers can gather for a night of TV watching at the community bunker theater - though it's not quite clear what they'll be watching if above-ground disappears, perhaps old videos
But the company says there's no per-person price tag - so if you squeeze in enough survivalists, the costs could be as low as several thousand each.
Vivos is planning to build a school, church, shooting range and garden on the nine-acre property. It also plans to offer a full-time staff.
The bunkers were originally used by the Army in 1942 and built with super reinforced concrete and steel walls and doors just in case the bombs they stored blew up.
The bunkers can withstand a 500,000-ton blast.
Vivos bought the property last year and the first bunkers will be ready for move-in next summer.
The company also has doomsday communities in Indiana and in Germany, both considered 'five star' with luxury amenities such as a swimming pool, a hospital, and armed guards.

Life might be doomed outside, but inside the Europa One shelter, life resembles that aboard a billionaire's yacht

Vivos Europa One, located in the German village of Rothenstein, is available only to the super-rich and apparently can withstand a nuclear blast, chemical agents, earthquakes, tsunamis - and virtually any other disaster or attack.
Each family in the complex will be provided with a private 2,500-square-foot apartment, which they can design and build to their own specifications.
