Utah millionaire father of seven built a 300-acre doomsday compound stocked with food, weapons and supplies to shelter 200 people if civilisation collapses

If you've been watching Homestead on your phones and TVs, beware that there is more of where it's coming from. Jayson Orvis, the author of the post-apocalyptic thriller, has a 300-acre doomsday compound matching the theme, according to a report from PEOPLE.

Orvis has spent more than a decade on transforming the property located in Bountiful, Utah, into a self-supporting sanctuary which can shelter 200 people in the event of a civilisation-ending catastrophe. The property, home to the multimillionaire, his wife and three of his seven kids comes with a complete armoury, a machine shop, greenhouses, butchery and a massive storeroom filled with everything from medical textbooks to portable radios and leather-working tools.The location is also the set for his similar themed TV show, Angel Studios' 'Homestead: The Series', which recently returned for Season 2.

The 57-year-old entrepreneur's property also boasts a "food forest" that grows fruits and vegetables without pesticides or synthetic fertilisers. “We have more asparagus and raspberries than we can pick,” he told PEOPLE.
