The doomsday bunker includes a dormitory for up to 8 people, full bath, kitchen and major storage facilities. Neighborhood Description The neighborhood is sparsely settled, located on a mountain back road with scenic vista views, unpaved so very few cars go by. Perfect! Great location 10 to 15 minutes from a university town with a regional medical center with comprehensive geriatric care, arts, sports, skiing, golf, hiking and close to the famous Blue Ridge Parkway and Appalachian Trail and our world famous fall color season! Temperate climate, good, non-nosey neighbors, no crime (I have not locked my home in over 30 years). Two parks are within 5 miles. There is Bluegrass every Friday evening at historic Todd General Store 5 min away. We have a wide variety of cultural activities from opera and orchestral to bluegrass and clogging and everything in between. This is a VERY diverse area in terms of scenery as well as population. The area has many miles of greenways, a very healthful climate, clean air, clean water and beautiful vistas everywhere. Local people have pride. There are no eyesores. They also tend to keep to themselves. Bad weather is uncommon – no tornado ever. It is rare to have big snows, but 2 inches is common. Close to major attractions and theme parks, far enough away from big cities to be safe.
