Property details
Location
About the Area
1142 Scenic Vw is located in Lexington, 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.
Lexington had an estimated population of 1,493 as of 2023. The 78947 zip code has a median household income of $81,371, a median home value of $276,900, and a median age of 41.1. The average household size is 2.61 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.
