If we asked you to describe an apocalyptic shelter right now, we’d bet a limb on the likeliness that it would look like a hole in the ground, a prison or a houseboat – unless you have some serious cash. This Curiocity Home of The Week answers the question, how would a multi-millionaire survive a zombie hoard, assuming that they weren’t able to climb?

To call this place a house feels unfair. It’s really a compound, with an outdoor social space and an indoor garden. Though its bedrooms are large and its kitchen grand – the devil really is in the little details.

This 4,713 Square-foot palace, features a pair of imported antique mesquite doors, oak plank flooring and a unique rundle stone central island; all of which could be yours for the price of $4,950,000 CAD. Pocket change, really.
