About this property
Looking to moooooove to the country, eat BBQ til’ your hearts content and get a good look at where your beef comes from? If you want to be part of, not just see the Circle of Life, this place is for you! 2/2 - 1,481 sqft. home on 1.13 acres just down the street from world-famous Snow’s BBQ and sandwiched between Pop’s Lickin‘ and Smackin’ Barbecue and The Lexington Livestock Commission in Lexington, Texas. Built in 1937, a little worse for wear, but with some characteristic architectural details from that era still in place, this was home to the long-time mayor of Lexington, his wife and the three strapping boys they raised for more than 60 years. With a huge back yard, a barn and a set of pens for the boy’s show cattle and ropin’ horses, this property is a throwback to what a lot of “in town” properties in rural communities looked like way back when and is ideal for anyone who wants to keep a few head of livestock and everything that comes with that close to the house… Conveniently right off of the town square and within walking distance of all LISD campuses, the Post Office, City Hall, retail shopping and your choice of several fine churches.

Location
About the Area
517 First Street None 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.
