Groovy Unique Mind-Blowing Mid-Century Modern Home

About the Space

Built in the 1970s, out of a single redwood tree, this is a mid-century modern home designed by Frank Lloyd Wright's chief engineer and protegé Kelly Oliver. This 2 acre estate was held private until 2019 when the present owners purchased the property and completely restored it. The home was built by a flamboyant Irving developer and his wife who hosted notable celebrities in their groovy home such as Tom Landry, Nelson and Bunker Hunt, various Dallas Cowboys as well as numerous Texas congressmen and senators from the 1970's era. Completely restored, this home has many shooting locations with natural light and plenty of space for controlled lighting. The homes gated front entrance, with a long brick driveway, leads to a port-a-caché with custom designed mid-century lighting. Iron doors open to a bridge, fountain, waterfall and 3500 sf lush tropical courtyard featuring a unique geometric pool with stone decking. The home features multiple entrances with custom designed doors. The interior is a complex arrangement of floor to ceiling glass and stucco walls, redwood beams, clerestory windows, fireplaces and a combination of wood and stained and polished concrete flooring. The entire home has redwood beamed and slatted wood ceilings. The guesthouse has a combination of wood and period acoustical ceilings. The 7000 sf mid-century modern home completely surrounds the courtyard with its glass and stucco walls and the entire home is surrounded by 2 heavily wooded acres in a very unassuming area of Irving. Centrally located in the DFW metroplex, this location offers easy access to the South entrance of DFW airport and the Communications Complex and Studios of Irving are only 5 miles away.
