Looking for a place where you can hide from the rest of the world when times get tough?
Two neighbouring properties at the heart of Mannum are offering prospective buyers the chance to create the perfect quiet escape, and more.
The blocks at allotments 3 River Lane and 7 Randell St are mostly vacant with a brick and concrete bunker, which includes a bathroom and kitchen facilities as well as a living area, in the middle.

Whether you’re keen to live out your doomsday fantasies or build a dream home overlooking the Murray River, the 810sqm site has the potential to be the perfect hideaway.
BH Partners Woodside/Mannum principal Rob Brown said the owners were using it as storage space.
“The bunker has been built there, but (the land) has always been vacant for as long as I can remember,” he said.
“It’s in the middle of Mannum so it’s a fantastic spot.”
Mr Brown said while it looked the part, the bunker wouldn’t work as a real survival shelter because it probably wasn’t bomb proof.
That aside, he said the blocks were ripe for development as they overlooked a reserve with barbecue areas and a boat ramp into the Murray River, which was popular among tourists.
“A developer could do a lot with it, and the (Mid Murray) Council is keen to see it developed,” he said.
“Ideally it would be retail businesses, like restaurants, with possible residences on the River Lane side.
“You could possibly put a house on the River Lane side but with that you’ll probably have to incorporate (retail) on the other side.”
Mr Brown said the council had approved development plans for the sites before but any future plans would need to be lodged again.
Allotment 3 with the bunker is listed for $299,000 while allotment 7 is on the market for $249,000. They can be purchased together or separately.
