I want that house! It's a hell of a lot better than my plan of just crying in a corner with a shotgun handy.

Looks like it's more for rich security fanatics than anything else.... I remember when I had a job going door to door to places. The city people were ass holes while the people out in the country were generally very nice and even invited me inside.

The rich people though. The rich people were absolutely the worst. Many had security signs posted everywhere, no trespasser signs, and even though I was there on official business they still looked at me with unveiled horror and suspicion. Rich people live in fear that someone will come and take their stuff to the point of obsession. They're sad and disgusting.

I will never understand the people on this website's complete love of zombies. It seems like anything zombie related makes a massive impact. On a side note, I predict that 5 posts will appear saying something along the lines of "What do you want in YOUR zombie-proof house"

(If you can't tell, I despise the love of zombies.)
...

[looks around]

[sees this gent's prediction has not yet come true]

[decides it would be a shame if he was let down]

So, what do you want in YOUR zombie-proof house?

OT: Awesome house, but I question its viability in such an instance. Yes, you'd be safe from being devoured by the undead, but unless the second floor comes complete with bullet-proof lexan-lined greenhouse for growing one's own crops, as well as a way to manually activate its protections in the occurance of power failure, it's just trading one post-apocalyptic death (death by zombie) for another (death by slow steady starvation in the darkness, alone and unloved). So, I ask this of the would-be buyer; do you really want to trade Night of the Living Dead for The Road? At least in Night of the Living Dead, the zombies made it quick...

There are alot of design flaws here, i'm sure this has been mentioned but glass walls are a TERRIBLE idea, you can get a fine view without them and every zombie around will be drawn in to watch the show. Also if it was specifically designed for zombie survival it should probably be totally solar/hydro powered and have some way of growing it's own food.

And thus the Apocalypse began when researchers created zombies to test whether their zombie-proof design was effective in case a zombie apocalypse did in fact occur.
it seams something aperture science would do, you know with their dangerous science policy...

Ok, so it keeps out zombies.

Now the real important question - how well does it keep out live people intent on getting inside to get away from said zombies?

Who needs Walnuts and and Sunflowers when you've got a house like that?

Perhaps they used Mormons.
Nah man, Mormons can get into anything!

Damn Mormons, always coming to my house and bothering me when I'm trying to eat my... delicious crabmeat.

It would suck if the zombie apocalypse hit while you were out at the supermarket or something and nowhere near your impenetrable fortress.

Maybe they're using GE's bacteria labs in the vein of Resident Evil?

Zombie-proof? I don't think so. I don't see any Sunflowers or Peashooters.

hee hee I never get tired of throwing out Plants vs Zombies references into "serious" zombie threads.

EDIT: Damnit someone already beat me to it.

That metal garage door thing doesn't look strong enough... they should have used a foot of titanium steel.

They got humans to claw at it for a five day piriod, and in the sense of zombies, there hands would have rotted away and gave no effect to the concrete...

The article makes no mention of what is used as a power source, I can only hope that it's solar or eolian, because if they are relying on the power grid to stay up, they're gonna be zombie food.

EDIT: Also, no hydroponics system? Water treatment? If you're gonna spend on something like this at least do it right.

Sadly, one would also have to know how to repair and maintain the systems, as well as potentially have replacement parts. That's on top of supplies to survive. I would also convert the swimming pool into a greenhouse to grow my own food.

Still, regardless of the price tag, this looks pretty damn awesome. I would want one.
