An international home for sale could quite possibly have 99 Bottles of Beer on the wall… or more.

The Spanish-style house at 1800 N Camino Altar in Tucson, Arizona, commands attention with its unusual design, specifically due to its walls.

As stated on the listing, the three-bedroom, three-bathroom home in the Sonoran Desert is “insulated by thousands of glass bottles”. Put simply, the property’s walls are made up of glass bottles.

Holly Greenhalgh of Coldwell Banker Commercial Realty is handling the campaign with a price guide of $US432,500 ($AU666,633).

Built in 1968, the property is described online as a “timeless structure” and an “alternative constructed rock and bottle home”.

On offer is a main residence and guest cottage with multiple spaces to entertain such as the outdoor kitchen and billiard room.

Walls of glass bottles add dramatic pops of colour to the interior aesthetic with its concrete and flagstone floors, deep-rock fireplaces and wooden-beam ceilings.

Two alcoves for reading and built-in concrete furniture add to the allure of the space, as well as the stained glass windows and grotto-style shower.

Tucson is Arizona’s second-largest city and is known for its backdrop of cacti and rugged mountains.
