15 Zombie Proof Houses You’ll Regret Not Seeing 

everbody gangsta until the zombies start swimming

There may not be actual zombies in our future, but protection against other dangerous people may be necessary.

I'd make a house on Alcatraz Island. Plenty of space to farm, great strong structure, multiple ways to escape by boat or helicopter, can fish right from home, have guard towers to pick off whatever zombie may have gotten onto the island which is very doubtful. Seems like the perfect spot.

The heck with zombies, I'd want one of these houses to keep normal people out when SHTF.

'do you really want to be the last one alive after a zombie apocalypse?' Yes, i do.

The major problem with most bug out houses/shelters is that you have to get to them from wherever you happen to be when the SHTF.

The tiny house on the island was built and owned by a sheep farmer and his wife a long time ago (60s-70s I think), it has electricity via generator too. Bjork does own it but I can't speak to whether or not she lives there. I got to visit the island when I went to Iceland a few years ago, we were able to look at the house from a short distance but couldn't go inside or get too close.

Anyone who can afford to build a house like the one in #15, will have also considered the food supply situation. And yes… I would still want to survive, no matter the apocalyptic situation that might occur. Of course, that’s just me…and as long as I have my dog for company, I’m cool with no people being around. Much less drama that way. 😊

2:17 is Keilder water valve tower, which sits in a man made reservoir (Keilder Water) so there are no sea views and it certainly wasn't built by any conspiracy nut! It was built in the 1970's, I abseiled the inside of it in 1995.

Do you guys realize when talking about Bjork's house you kept showing two different island houses?

The first house is actually a brilliant idea for seasonal homes, although with a bit less concrete and steel, it’s sort of storm shutters on steroids. If you build a home/cabin in a largely vacation community, that will sit empty most of the year, a feature like this would be great. Think about it, at the end of the season, you shut everything down than turn a key and watch as concrete slabs cover all the windows and doors, thus protecting them not only from intruders but also from Mother Nature. Maybe include a solar panel powered ventilator on the roof to move a small, but constant amount of air through the structure to keep it from getting stale and the odor soaking into the fabrics used around the house. The reason I saw have that solar powered is firstly it wouldn’t be needed during the winter, at least in northern climates, but also because that would allow you to completely shutdown the power to the home, while a panel or small array would provide plenty of power to move some air when it’s sunny out, and your only electrical concern could be isolated on the roof, and made in such a way that even if the entire circuit fried and melted it wouldn’t catch the main structure on fire.

4:40 Bjork's music can be described in many more words, like other worldly, experimental, and complex. She also has an extraordinary, unique singing style. Her swan dress is wonderful! I can see other people think so too.

Where do you get your information from? The structure at 2:24 is actually a VALVE TOWER for a reservoir and dam in Northern England. It is not a zombie proof house built by some millionaire. It was built by Northumberland Water in the early 1980s. It does not have sea views as it is at least 30 miles from the sea. You need to get yourself a new researcher.

I don’t know why I’m watching this at 2:30am but now I’m wanting a zombie proof house

Some people referred to other humans in an end of the world scenario “zombies” because you’ll have to consider everyone hostile if you want to live very long.

Hands up who’s home has been invaded by a zombie. Hands up who’s home has been invaded by a burglar (human) ? So there’s an obvious answer as to what kind of security you spend your hard earned on.

Total bollocks, at 2.15 the house in the lake is actually the valve tower at Keilder Resevoir in Northumberland

I feel awkward when the narrator mispronounces more words than I do. And has so many errors in the script. This was a great idea but you need to have someone proofread your content and check the pronounciations before releasing the episode.

4:46 & 5:58 Now that I've had a chance to watch A Quiet Place Part 2, these houses would be perfect for survival!

Anyone else think it was kinda creepy that a private mansion only accessible by boat has a massage room? Y’know, cause of the implication…

The hobbit house looks cool but I’d feel a lil crazy and claustrophobic being underground completely with no real sunlight or windows or fresh air I’d prol end up freaking out and looking at a fake outdoor scenery painted on the wall all the time would just make me feel worse lol

Bjorks house is the best one. Secluded, tall enough that storms and rising seas wont effect it and would prevent others trying to escape from getting to it, has plenty of land to raise animals and have crops, Can build rain water collection and install solar panels and youd have everything you need. You could even just hang out outside and enjoy the weather when its nice.

The Maunsell forts look much more like something from a deleted scene in Waterworld that I would love to have been included.

The house on the island can be hooked up with utilities: solar for electric, rain collection for water, compost for solid waste, liquid waste used for crops.

Anything that's on its own island sounds good to me. Personally, I've been thinking about zombie defense ever since I saw the 'Night of the Living Dead' remake as a kid in the '90s. ✌❤

The home thought to be bjorks is not. Its an old fishing cabin owned by a private family. It was supposed to be a fishing/hunting island and port. But never happened

The best house to survive a zmombie alpaca-lips? A boat.

I like the abandoned military box homes in the middle of the ocean.Reinforce.Renovate the last 3 good ones. Solar panels. Make one of the boxes the a green house/garden, solar panels, water processing center, so you're self sustaining.

The narrator sounds jealous of the people that can afford houses like these!

That seed vault is a fantastic idea for seeds. As for the others; start prepping and canning, dehydrating etc.

ever since I saw pictures of the Bjork islands before they even had that name, I thought of how to self sustain them. islands like that truly are the best potential long term homes. Needs a LOT of work to get it there tho. 1: underground storage, lots of it. storing seeds, solar panels/batteries, general repair equipment for electronic/plumbing needs. food preservation area. animal husbandry equipment, and agricultural equipment of course a small armory and fishing gear. green house equipment for year round agriculture needs as well as planting things that normally wouldn't grow there. 2: stock island with fruit trees and basic livestock for sustained food sources and all nutritional needs. 3: books and entertainment area preferably built underground 4: lower the living quarters underground. by the looks of the island you could have 3-4 stories underground before hitting the water table even at high tide. 5: someone wealthy enough could even build the James Bond villains type of secret entrance for boats to get on and off the island.

As for Bjork’s house on the little green island, perhaps the real abode is built underneath the tiny dwelling that sits on the hillside, with no electricity, nor running water.

The Maunsell sea forts were built in the early 1940's (WWII) in the Thames and Mersey River estuaries. They were later used by pirate radio stations.

This doesnt make sense...remember in land of the dead when the zombies walked into the water and came up on the other side to attack and eat the ones in the rich condos...well i guess nothings perfect.

I think that the houses with electronically controlled concrete slabs closing on windows and doors can easily become a trap itself. :D

If you have ever run across any Methhead, You would believe in Zombies too. My son was a hair's breath away from picking up a machete during one of his meth trips and going on a killing spree. The paranoia is terrifying with Meth, and anything could set someone off on a bad trip and if they have access to things like machete's or guns, ya, it could happen. More often though. They just can't seem to make any sense of what they are doing. To them it makes perfect sense, but, to the outside view, it is not apparent

Hahaha, looks like the narrator just doesn't care about the pronunciations

Anyone that grew up during the cold war and especially the dark days of the Cuban missile crisis (or isn't completely ignorant of history) understands the reason for house #6.

Is it just me or is it because of todays housing market that the costs of these places are way too cheap. I've seen basic two story houses go for $1.9-$2.5mill and not be in some crazy city.

"When Excrement hits the room cooling device" alright I'm using that in the future when I want to say "when shit hits the fan" properly.

I see three times where images form various houses by the same architect are shown like they're the same, single place.

Thats not a house, its the overspill tower at Keider Water Reservoir in Northumberland, England!

This narrator officially broke me at 12:53 when he called the seed vault with seeds for over 930,000 varieties of edible crops “over 13,000 [maybe square feet since he didn’t complete the thought/statement] of architectural history” instead of AGRICULTURAL history.

Quick question, for number 15; if they had no electricity, how they gonna get out of the house? Judging from the looks, looks like it’s all connected to a power source that controls when he opens them and closes the walls

The seed vault is great temporarily and to get seeds but unless you have renewable power and grow lights you aren't growing much if you stay there. The skyscraper with trees isn't keeping zombies out unless you need to climb to access the building. The zombies will enter the same way that humans enter any high rise...

Post covid19 these homes make perfect sense.

I think people forget the real thing to worry about if there is a zombie outbreak is who’s going to run the power plants?

4:56 That's a puffin hunting lodge, though you did get the island right. Bjork also was in the negotiation to buy an island of the same name, but dropped out.

Id want to live in the seed vault. I have always wanted all the best foods plants from around the world in one garden with the best fish, game and farm animal varieties. Save trees of value too and then let people see it as a tour of what is worth saving in our world. Though I would say if I had to live in an apartment complex again having one made from scrubbing concrete that purified the air and hand edible landscaping and an internal fishery would be an easy sell too.

I think it's weird and creepy when you threaten everyone for not liking or subscribing to the show ... " Slenderman, spiders " really dude !?!?

Great Video!

Truth is those that will survive will be those that stay mobile. Nomads will be the ultimate survivors not the ones buried underground.

*Vault-Tec: Pfft... hold my Pipboy.*

Zombie proof but are they people proof, the real problem.

There is a much greater chance of getting harmed by other humans than zombies

Man I love Bjork...shes so unusual but cool!...wish I had a place like it so peaceful and spiritually beautiful

They need to rename this video to " The Hobbies of people with more money than brains"......

The river Thames is pronounced 'Temms' not 'Th-aims'...

The WWII forts off the coast od Britain are so cool, that's the type of place I'd like. Close to the land & can fish.

“When the dead rises”?? I didn’t think rise was plural.

2:20 that looks like Kielder reservoir valve tower in Hexham uk

How can I regret not seeing something that I haven't seen?

I feel like MOST zombie-proof houses are missing two essential-for-survival aspects: One is a solar grid. These houses that lockdown are awesome, but they're essentially ovens with no air circulation. Solar panels or a solar grid are vital. Then there's the absolute need for a MASSIVE propane tank.

the golden rule with prepping is dont let anyone know your doing it. if i knew someone that had supplies id just force them to share with me

In a zombie apocalypse, I would be more concerned with survivors trying to break into my house, rather than zombies. A satchel charge on one of those thin concrete walls and they're in. Very poor designs.

I'd either want the vertical forest because it is purpose-built to allow for agriculture--ie. a steady food source--or the maunsell forts after a major restoration project because their design and location doubles their inaccessibility, plus there's the opportunity to convert specific buildings to specific needs, including a survivalist garden.

MY problem with Zombies is blood pressure. They dont have it, and they stil move...

The house of „bjork“ is actually a house for bird scientists. And there are 2 houses on that island. Besides that it has running water and everything you need to life.

cool houses, better than the sarcastic narrator

So most of these were not houses or zombie apocalypse approved. SMH

Why am I watching zombie apocalypse safe homes in the middle of the night? How did I get here

That underground house in Vegas is listed for $18 million now!

These r sick!

The "urban vertical forest". I like the common sense idea. I just hope they follow through and make sure the buildings can handle the additional weight of so many plants, trees and tons of wet/damp soil. Italy is prone to earthquakes, especially near its volcanos. I'd hate for it to just be more death raining down.

I actually watched a RU-vid vid about Bjork's house where a guy sailed to the island to check it out. The dude that lives there showed him around. The guy also nearly fell off the cliff when he was climbing up it. Beautiful, but scary.

If a zombie apocalypse happens I'll be in Siberia arm wrestling a bear

Imagine thinking your about to survive the apocalypse only for something to go extremely wrong, now your locked in & stranded in your own creation 🤦🏾‍♀️

How about a sailing ship? It would be a mobile home that is very hard to reach for anyone that does not have a boat or can't swim at inhuman speeds.

What you guys don't understand is that more high tech the house, the more it becomes irreverent in post apocalyptic scenario, because any error or dysfunction will require specialised tools and trained professionals to repair it. The ideal survival house should be underground or buit into a cliff with easy access to a water source with a single point entry and a emergency exist. Vents should be secured and should be able to shut off in case of any toxic gas leakage, an indoor air tank for temporary use. To withstand nukes, you probably need a house deep underground or inside mountain and lead layer plus thick concrete walls to keep it radiation proof. The Mechanical system should be simple and be designed in such a way that repairs are easy and accessible. Spare parts should be stockpiled too, also need a huge storage space to keep food, kerosene and other essentials. Also you might have keep something like a insect or livestock or fish farms to recycle your wastes to food. Solar or wind power is no go as it requires you to go above ground or outside for service. So only generators are only choice for power, maybe if you have access to underground water stream, you can generate hydroelectric power and geothermal power is another option. Manual controls wherever possible, anything digital is prone to lifecycle limit. Also you need a basic surveillance system to indoors and outdoors. Plus you need some kind of panic room in case your base gets broken into. If constructed, it would be ideal survival setup.

If Zombie outbreak ever happens, its the humans you need to prepare for.

Bjork did not dress as a swan, she dressed IN a swan, With a swan. That's a whole nother level of insanity LOL

#2, the tree apartment building. I imagine the residents probably have an issue with spiders getting in their houses at an alarming rate.

The trouble with apocalyptic housing is without a stable water well and a huge room for nitrogen freezing all food, the inhabitants will eventually run out of both, forcing them to leave their glorified holiday homes.

I love that last one... number 1. it's not really that expensive considering the housing market today. It looks rural, so can grow food after the zombies are gone.. LOL..

850,000 dollars? Thats like a majority of the houses in NY nowadays

I seen a bunch or zombies over the summer.. a mostly peaceful protest. The ones in Portland were most disturbing, the purple and blue hair with all those hooks in their face looking like the hell raiser

I can imagine the conversations between the architects would have been funny. "We need to make the window shutters thicker because we don't want zombies bashing it to pieces and gaining entry...." LOL

House on the island with no plumbing, electricity, or drinking water 🧟

Who wrote this? the narration sounds like the latest fake computer voice the Thames is not pronounced as it is spelt.

Bjorks house is am attenpyed at a settlement by a few families that didn't work out and is now a privately owned puffin hunting cabin and vacation house owned by the same few families. Totally false on this guys account.

Plot twist: They got bitten and died on the way to their "zombie proof" house

No worries folks..The Zombie Apocalypse was a bust with fewer than 200 Zombies killed or captured and most of those were from Florida 55 and over mobile home parks..

#3 had few images of 3 completely different homes!

Survival experts have looked at some of these "crazy" people and found that they are prepared just about any kind of emergency situation

Caption: I took some pics of houses...look! 6 minutes of my life I will never get back.

I love the Adirondack house. THAT is pretty close to my dream home. The NIKE battery is dead on as well. Now all I need to do is move the two together someplace...

Future home: Prison

greetings from poland

None of these houses can stop. Cool Gangster zombies

number 6: Henderson aint looking silly he died of a heart attack in the master bedroom of the bunker house in las Vegas, So he stayed until the very end. Do research ya bob
