3345 E Austin St, Giddings, TX 78942

Property Description

796' of Highway 290 Frontage. Dual Zoning. Proven Growth Corridor. Properties with this combination of scale, location, and flexibility rarely come to market - and even more rarely inside city limits. This 6.67-acre property sits on the Highway 290 corridor between Austin and Houston, with 796 feet of prime frontage and dual commercial/residential zoning that opens the door to almost any use an investor could want. Highway 290 carries traffic counts exceeding 20,000 vehicles per day. Giddings has already proven out national retail demand - recently attracting its first major franchise coffee brand, with the nearest competing location roughly 30 miles away in any direction. Inside city limits, with full city water and services, plus an additional spring-fed artesian well for water independence, 4 RV hookups in place, ready for guests, workers, or short-term rental income. The home is 6,743-square-foot: Seven bedrooms and five full bathrooms across multiple living areas mean this building can flex toward a boutique hospitality use, corporate retreat, family compound, or long-term rental — or continue as a single residence while the land around it is developed. A chef's kitchen with dual Jenn-Air refrigerators, an oversized island, and vaulted ceilings anchors a home built to handle volume, while the 1,644-square-foot entertainment building opens directly onto a pool and hot tub — a layout already built for event use, from private functions to larger gatherings. A large stocked pond with a concrete walking path, a waterfall fish-pond feature, and mature tree canopy create the kind of setting that's difficult to replicate and well-suited to an event venue, wedding/retreat business, or high-end short-term rental. This is a rare opportunity to acquire established infrastructure, water security, and dual zoning on a highway corridor with documented traffic volume, a track record of attracting national retail interest, and active public investment in future growth.
