Ένα σπίτι στην Αριζόνα που κάποτε ονομάστηκε το πιο πρωτότυπο σπίτι στην Αμερική, επειδή το 60% του είναι κατασκευασμένο από γρανιτένιο ογκόλιθο, πωλείται έναντι 4.2 εκατ. δολαρίων.

Το σπίτι 4.380 τετραγωνικών ποδιών βρίσκεται στην έρημο της Αριζόνα. Με τρία υπνοδωμάτια και δυόμιση μπάνια, το σπίτι είναι κατασκευασμένο από μόνο 40% μη-πέτρινο υλικό.

Τα αρχαία πετρογλυφικά που είναι λαξευμένα στο εξωτερικό του σπιτιού οδήγησαν στο να τεθεί στο Εθνικό Μητρώο ιστορικών τόπων, αφότου χτίστηκε το 1980.

Οι τοίχοι, τα δάπεδα και οι οροφές είναι κατασκευασμένα από βράχο και σοβά και δημιουργούν μια εξαιρετικά γήινη αίσθηση σε όσους εισέρχονται.

Ο πρώην διευθύνων σύμβουλος του καταστήματος πολυτελείας, Neiman Marcus,, Stanley Marcus, το είχε χαρακτηρίσει ως το πιο ενδιαφέρον σπίτι στην Αμερική.

Sixty per cent of this Scottsdale, Arizona home is constructed out of granite boulder. The house is carved into the city's desert landscape

The 4,380-square-foot home sits on nine acres of land and is surrounded by fairways of the Whisper Rock Golf Course

The home is primarily made of boulder and stucco, which merge together on the walls, floors and ceiling to create an earthy feel

The home has few windows, but where the sun does shine through, it's primarily indirect sunlight coming from cracks in the rocks

 

Rock juts out into the home, creating walls and stairways throughout the home, which has been listed on the market for $4.2million

Glass panels and doors make up one wall of this room, which appears to be an area where rock, wood and stucco converge

The home is decorated with plenty of wooden and metal furniture, adding to the earthy vibes that the rock structure radiates

Leather chairs and a couch surround a wooden table create a social sitting area near the front door of the home

 Some corridors in the house, lined with walls and floors of boulder, appear to be quite dark due to a lack of windows

The home has a massive wood-burning fireplace in the living room, and a chimney that appears to be made out of bricks and stucco

A bathroom in the house appears to have walls made from boulder and a unique sink, that seems to be made out of another type of rock or stucco substance

The three bedroom, two-and-a-half bathroom home was named the most original home in america by former Neiman Marcus CEO Stanley Marcus

From the front door, residents can see the beautiful colors of the sunset pour over the vast land surrounding the home

The exterior of the home is surrounded by rocks and various desert wildlife, including cacti, trees and small shrubs and bushes

The house blends into the desert environment on which it sits, as many of its walls are made out of the same material as the earth around it

From some angles, it almost looks as if there is no home sitting on the plot of land. At a closer look however, walls of stucco and wood can be seen hidden behind the cacti

This area of the the home has large windows - something that isn't consistent throughout the entire home due to the nature of its construction

The home, built in 1980, is surrounded by massive granite boulders which form walls on the inside and outside of the house

Narrow and winding dirt roads lead the way to the house. Though it is near the Whisper Rock Golf Course, it appears that the home would be a serene getaway, out of reach of many neighbors

Petroglyphs carved into the exterior rock of the home led it to be put on the National Register of Historic Places for its 'contribution to the cultural heritage of Arizona' and for its 'archaeological significance'
