Worried about the Russkies? Want to make sure your genetic material survives a nuclear war? Got $6.5 million? Have we got an opportunity for you.

A listing near Battle Creek offers a gracious above-ground McMansion with a private lake for before the button is pushed, and for after, a roomy, well-designed bunker below ground out back.
Crain's Detroit Business leads the showing:
"It's set up for someone who wants to get away from it all," (Realtor Ryan) Johnson said of the home. "It's rural and in southwest Michigan — not likely a target area for bombing — but if there was a nuclear incident, radiation, gas, it should keep you safe."
The five-bedroom, 6.5-bath, 13,496-square-foot estate at 22072 Pine Lake Road includes 323 acres and its own lake. It also includes a 5,000-square-foot underground bunker, a 7,200-square-foot outbuilding and a greenhouse to grow your own food in the event of a supply chain disaster.
Whoever buys this prepper's paradise can while away the hours with a huge home entertainment system. Friends and family can also enjoy the benefits, as there are three additional homes on the compound. And the new owner will be able to keep an eye on everything via a video surveillance security system throughout the property.
The property has its own website, with copious photos, but may we direct you to the bunker, 5,000 square feet of underground living space, capable of supporting 20 people, with "two kitchens, a grow room and a shooting range" for keeping your aim sharp in a post-apocalyptic zombie world.
Canned foods will get boring, so an indoor grow room can provide fresh vegetables.
The outdoor bunker entrance is unobtrusive, a pillbox rather ludicrously painted in camouflage colors. But underground it's roomier than most houses. All solar-powered, of course.
If you dare to go outdoors once the fallout subsides, there's also a big above-ground greenhouse with raised-bed gardens. Three other smaller houses dot the property as well.
Put together a apocalypse pod and snatch this baby up before some Silicon Valley jerk sees it.
