Default I want to build a bunker

Hey so we're going to be completely remodelling our front yard to a xeroscape situation. I've always wanted a bunker/bomb shelter and I figure this is my chance to do it.

My house is kind of perched on a small hill. I'm thinking we dig out down to the base of the foundation and crane in a pre-fabbed bunker in place. I'd have a doorway cut into the foundation for access into the bunker from inside the house. Then just back fill over top of the bunker and carry on with the yardwork.

I'd set it up a kind of as a speak easy/smokers' lounge thing for normal use, but also have fold-down cots off the walls for sleeping if we should ever need to hunker down in it.

Anybody done anything like this? Any idea on cost?

TIA
