TIFT COUNTY, Ga. -- A residence in Tifton, Ga., is getting a lot of attention.

It could be because it's built to weather a 20-kiloton nuclear blast.

This bunker was built in 1969 during the Cold War between the Soviet Union and the United States. Now, it's been renovated as a residence and is on sale for $17.5 million.

The EPA-approved facility sits on 20 or more acres and features three-foot thick walls, decontamination showers, an updated air intake system and a host of features that make a bunker, a bunker.

It also has 12 bedrooms, 12 bathrooms, a home theater, exercise room, library, recreation room, workshop and kitchens with a breakfast bar.
