Washington

THE safest house in America might be a sprawling 36,000-square-foot compound outside Atlanta. And it's a bargain at US$14.7 million.

Built to last 1,000 years and to withstand every type of attack, the eight-bedroom, 15-bathroom house cost US$30 million to construct and was reduced from its original list price of US$17.5 million.
