California’s super-rich have plenty of luxury bunkers to choose from — but this one takes doomsday prepping to a whole new level.

A massive network of underground vaults is being carved into the Swiss Alps, offering the ultra-wealthy a heavily fortified place to stash everything from priceless art and gold to vintage Ferraris and expensive wine.

The complex will house about 20 private vaults buried under more than 100 meters of solid rock — a natural fortress designed to keep criminals out.

Each underground cave is being sold on a 99-year lease, with prices starting at nearly 1 million Swiss francs — about $1.23 million.

“The advantage is that the client becomes the owner: they have their own parcel number in the land register and can even mortgage the property,” the developer said, according to swissinfo.ch.

The underground space once had a much less secretive purpose. It was home to Cantina Caverna, a restaurant and event venue, along with a shooting range and a firefighter training center designed to simulate tunnel fires.
