Giddings, TX 78942 (Lee County)
About this property
Some properties are simply in a category of their own. This 6,743-square-foot estate sits on 6.67 acres inside city limits — a rare combination of scale, seclusion, and accessibility that rarely comes to market. The home itself is built for a life lived fully. Seven bedrooms, five full bathrooms, multiple living areas, a game room, sunroom, and dedicated office give every member of the household room to spread out. At the center of it all is a chef's kitchen with an oversized island, granite countertops, vaulted ceilings, and a full suite of Jenn-Air stainless appliances — including dual refrigerators. A butler's pantry and laundry combination keeps daily life running quietly in the background. For those who entertain, the 1,644-square-foot entertainment room opens directly to a pool and hot tub — a setup that handles everything from intimate dinners to large-scale events with equal ease. Outside, the grounds feel like a world apart. A large, stocked pond with a concrete walking path, a waterfall fish-pond, and a canopy of mature trees create an environment that's more like a retreat than a backyard. A fireplace anchors the interior with warmth during cooler months. What sets this property apart, in a practical sense, is its dual commercial and residential zoning, with 796' of Highway 290 frontage on the corridor between Austin and Houston — an increasingly rare designation that opens the door to a private compound, an event venue, a business headquarters, or a combination of all three. Whether you are a Lee County native, commuting to Samsung, or love the antiques of Round Top, this 6.67 Acres provides endless possibilities with city water and services, a spring-fed artesian well, room to live, work, and build something lasting. Private showings available by appointment.

Location
About the Area
3345 E Austin St is located in Giddings, Texas, in Lee County. Lee County sits in the post oak savanna east of Austin, anchored by Giddings, a small agricultural city bisected by US-290 that has seen modest growth from Austin metro expansion. The county maintains a working agricultural character while proximity to Austin makes it increasingly attractive for acreage buyers.
The Little Brazos River and Yegua Creek drain much of Lee County, and the terrain features sandy post oak soils characteristic of the Lost Pines transition zone. The landscape is gentler than the Hill Country proper, with open pastures, wooded creek bottoms, and sandy-soiled ranchland.
Giddings had an estimated population of 5,085 as of 2023. The 78942 zip code has a median household income of $60,084, a median home value of $235,600, and a median age of 39.7. The average household size is 2.58 people.
Cattle ranching, poultry farming, oil and gas production, and Austin metro spillover define Lee County's economy. The county attracts buyers seeking affordable acreage within 60 miles of Austin's employment centers.
