The home on Kessler Parkway includes two buildings — a one-bedroom main house with one-and-a-half bathrooms and a two-bedroom guest house with one bathroom built on a sloped lot with a bridge connecting them.

The original house was built in 2000, and the same architect designed the guest house in 2016.

Gary Cunningham, an architect in Dallas, designed this glass, steel and concrete house, which is shrouded behind trees on a hill. It is approached by a pathway rising from the garage at the base, and also by a four-seat funicular. Several years after it was built, the owners commissioned Mr. Cunningham to add a wine and media room to the lower level of the three-story main structure and a separate two-bedroom guesthouse. An elevator services every level of the main house, except the roof deck.

If you can afford a $2-million house, I guess the annual property-tax bill exceeding $30,000 is no big deal.
