About this property

Welcome to Paradise Bunker Retreat! An extraordinary 20-acre retreat located in Paradise Valley, Montana, just north of Yellowstone National Park. This property offers a one-of-a-kind blend of natural beauty, artistic flair, and self-sufficient infrastructure. Situated at the end of a private road, it features panoramic 180-degree views of the Absaroka Range, abundant wildlife, and minimal winter snow accumulation thanks to its south-facing orientation. The 3-bedroom, 2-bath manufactured home (originally 1976, remodeled in 2019) sits perched on the upper portion of the land. With a vintage, artsy vibe inspired by the surrounding natural color palette, the home feels like a mid-century modern desert hideaway. A 7-person hot tub is perfectly positioned to take in the views, and the entire setting delivers a sense of privacy and peace that's hard to match. The land itself features beautiful rock formations, hiking opportunities, and a gully lined with watercress and wild mint. A separate 30-AMP RV hookup and a newly added shed provide flexibility for storage or additional usage. With multiple build sites offering incredible vistas, there is potential to add a larger primary residence. The property could potentially be subdivided into up to five 4-acre parcels (buyer to verify with county and HOA). At the lower end of the property lies the true gem: the "Helmet of Salvation," a 7,100 sq ft underground fallout shelter constructed in 1989. Designed to support up to 100 people for 90 days, this hidden subterranean vault is equipped with power, water, full ventilation, and heating/cooling systems. Interior features include a sanctuary/flex space, kitchen and pantry, dormitory rooms (some finished), bathrooms with showers and a tub, a communications room, and extensive storage. The shelter includes a commercial-grade, unused commercial gas range, and ceilings reach up to 10 feet for a surprisingly spacious feel. It will require cleanup and updating--but the infrastructure is solidly built with steel and offers a rare canvas for creative repurposing or continued use as a self-sustaining shelter. This is more than a property--it's an opportunity to own a piece of Montana with history, resilience, and character. Paradise Bunker Retreat is ready for the next visionary owner to shape its future.
