It’s hard to think of a business not having an “end of the world” promotion. Even our local pizza store is encouraging people to fill up on pizza for their last meal. But in some cases the promotion is worth a look, like this one from an Australian real estate site:

10 perfect apocalyptic retreats

Typically the properties have some form of self-sufficiency, be it a good supply of water, solar power, or land suitable for agriculture.

These two are my favorites, and also the top two listed, so they know their stuff!

 Coober Pedy, South Australia

Prior to pyramids, people hid underground. Most pyramids are above a cave/tunnel/alcove that was the original shelter. There’s nothing better to protect you from cosmic rays and meteor showers and solar storms and forest fires than some earth and rock.

This is a 3-bedroom home, but because it is in one of Australia’s hottest towns, it exists underground (like most of the town). What makes this property extra suitable is the price: $169,000

I don’t think you can grow your own food though….
