You can ignore the world in this off-the-grid ‘oasis’ listed in Alabama. Take a look
When the COVID-19 pandemic started in 2020, folks were seeking properties that would shield them from the world, including “doomsday bunkers,” which saw a boom when lockdowns started, The Verge reported.
While this particular compound isn’t exactly a “doomsday bunker” it is off-the-grid enough to satisfy a person or family looking to escape the population.
And live extremely comfortably.
This estate, which is right in the heart of the city of Madison, Alabama, is perfect for someone who lives for peace and quiet — all they need a few million, give or take.
Madison is just southwest of Huntsville.
The four-bedroom, 5.5-plus bathroom, estate’s starting bid is set at $2.9 million, the listing on Realtor.com says. Be aware that the last asking price was $11.9 million.
But considering the photos of the ultra chic interior and the entire compound’s self-efficient nature, it’s worth it.
“It’s 58 acres right in the middle of the city of Madison,” listing agent Amanda Howard of Sotheby’s International Realty said to Mansion Global. “When I first went out to see it, I was completely blown away by how hidden it is.”
This place is perfect for those looking to ditch the world thanks to its solar powered irrigation and water catchment, the listing says. It also has greenhouses and aquaponic growing systems.
There is also a rooftop herb garden.
The inside of the home is a doozy as well, with high-end features including:
Heated indoor and outdoor swimming pools
Entertainment areas
Smart home technology
Three outdoor kitchens
Elevator
Dog spa
There is also a three-acre lake, fruit orchard, equipment barn, workshop, a gym and an art studio on the property, Mansion Global says.
