9 zombie-proof housesWhat if the zombie apocalypse portrayed in "Fear the Walking Dead" happens? Can you assure your own safety?A prudent homebuyer has to take into consideration how a home will perform when fending off legions of the walking undead. Here are 9 estates that appear to be ideal for sheltering zombie-survival enthusiasts through a downpour of zombie violence.Castle of RinconLocation: Rincon, Puerto RicoAsking price: $2.4 millionCastle of Rincon is perched atop a mountain peak, giving 360-degree views of the surrounding countryside for whoever's drawn lookout duty that day. It's also equipped with gardens full of fruit trees and a 30,000-gallon water tank. Castle of CornodLocation: Cornod, FranceAsking price: 30 million euros (about $34 million)With its massive thick walls, 2 impressive turrets and about 80,000 square feet of space to house hundreds of fellow zombie fighters, the Castle of Cornod looks ready to stand up to an undead onslaught. Castle BluegrassLocation: Versailles, KentuckyFormer asking price: $30 millionThe bed-and-breakfast formerly known as Castle Bluegrass boasts thick stone walls, several turrets complete with battlements, and tennis and basketball courts to help you stay in zombie-fighting shape.
Lake CastleLocation: MiamiFormer asking price: $12.8 millionUnless someone is foolish enough to teach zombies how to swim, the huge moat surrounding this lake castle should keep you safe from undead mobs. The property also gets its water from wells, so you won't need to depend on what's likely to be substandard service from your local utilities provider in the event of a zombie outbreak. The only thing you'll need to add in the case of zombie warfare is a working drawbridge. House IslandLocation: Off the coast of Portland, MaineAsking price: $6.9 millionLocated in picturesque Casco Bay, House Island would seem to be a perfect getaway from the hellish scenes of devastation likely to be happening on the mainland. SAFE HouseLocation: Los AngelesAsking price: $5.499 millionWhile its location in a major metropolitan area isn't ideal, thanks to the millions of potential zombies living nearby, this house more than makes up for it with state-of-the-art security features. Sandy CayLocation: Man-O-War Cay, BahamasAsking price: $8 millionWith 4 dwellings, including a 5,400-square-foot main house, 8-acre Sandy Cay has plenty of living space for your zombie survival crew, and a 6,000-gallon-per-day reverse-osmosis water filter to keep them refreshed.
Wolf Trap LightLocation: Off the coast of Chesapeake Bay, VirginiaFormer asking price: $249,500While not as posh as many of the other entries on this list, this former lighthouse more than makes up for its lack of creature comforts by being an aquatic fortress that even the most athletic zombie would have trouble breaching. Tooth & Nail WineryLocation: Paso Robles, CaliforniaSold in 2014 for $4.86 millionThey say that in a zombie apocalypse, the survivors would envy the dead. But what if they were surviving in a vast cellar full of delicious wine? With its battlement-style roof, huge wooden doors and moat, the Tooth & Nail Winery would be relatively easy to defend from a zombie onslaught, and its 11-acre vineyard would give you plenty to fight for.A real-deal architectural firm is holding a contest to see who can design the most effective residence for surviving the undead apocalypse—and letting you vote on the winner. The 2010 Zombie Safe House Competition is sponsored by Architects Southwest, and they've got four options for you to choose from: a floating refuge, a mountain hideout, a skyscraper-y fort and the residential equivalent of a turtle shell.
(I'm rather fond of the Huckleberry, myself.) There doesn't seem to be a prize for winning this competition, beyond Internet-wide recognition and the comforting knowledge that when the inevitable zombie cataclysm happens, you'll have a head start on surviving it.The Walking Dead ZombiesWalking Dead RoomZombies TwdWalking Dead CakeThe ZombiesDead BackpackBackpack 2014Zombie BackpackPurses Backpacks WalletsForwardThe Walking Dead Zombie Survival Backpack. i think this would be cool to put a 72hr kit in lolIt could be the biggest bargain on the property market: a two-storey house that’s being given away for nothing. The only drawback is that this des res is made entirely out of Lego – and you’ll have to find somewhere to put it.Top Gear presenter James May has just built the world’s first full-size Lego house – including a working toilet, hot shower and a very uncomfortable bed – using 3.3million plastic bricks. Toy storeys: James May and 1,000 helpers built the 20ft-tall Lego house on a wine estate in Surrey
Stripe me: A close up of the fully functional house, which was built using 3.3million differently coloured bricks About 1,000 volunteers built the 20ft-tall house in Denbies Wine Estate in Dorking, Surrey – but now the vineyard needs the land back toIf no one collects it by 8am on Tuesday, it will be hacked to bits with chainsaws. May says Legoland reneged on a deal to take it to their theme park in Windsor, Berkshire, after deciding it would be too expensive to move. Meanwhile, miffed Legoland managers criticised May for building the house without their help.May said: ‘I’m very unhappy about it. I feel as if I’m having my arm twisted into saying “knock it down”.

Purrfect: The home even comes with its own cat ‘Legoland only told us on Thursday they were not going to take it.
Block head: The TV presenter built the house for his forthcoming BBC show, James May Toy Stories 'Knocking it down is just wrong on every level. really lovely thing – it would break the hearts of the 1,000 people who worked like dogs to build it.’ May believes that an art gallery, a children’s home or a wealthy private collector might be interested in the house. entrepreneurs hoping to make money from it would face legal problems as Legoland has an exclusive licence to use the plastic bricks as a public Lego has also banned May from dismantling the structure and giving away the bricks, which the company donated for his forthcoming BBC show James May’s Toy Stories. ‘It would dilute Lego’s sales – we can only give them to charity,’ May said. May slept in the house on Friday night, on ‘the most uncomfortable bed I’ve ever slept in’ – when he also discovered the house was not waterproof. Martin Williams, marketing director of Legoland Windsor, said: ‘We’re
disappointed we were not consulted as our model-makers could have advised on building a movable structure. ‘In our opinion, the only way to move the Lego house now is to cut into it, which would compromise the structural integrity and present us with Plastic fantastic: James in the multi-coloured hallway Building blocks: James even used Lego to make kitchen utensils, including a toaster, whisk, bread bin and iron Daily Block: The home, which is unwanted by Legoland, also includes reading material 'We considered all the options but due to timings, logistics and planning permission, we have decided it would not be viable to move the structure to the park.’Earlier this year the TV presenter made his debut in the Chelsea Flower show with a garden made entirely out of plasticine. in Plasticine boasted palm trees, bushes, a vegetable patch, grapevine, lawn, rockery and pond and featured two and a half tonnes of plasticine in 24 different colours.
