Property Summary:
Nestled in the heart of Lee County, Texas, Pin Oak Creek Ranch covers 109-acres, just 3.4 miles south of the town of Giddings on Highway 77. The land has a storied past that begins in the mid-1800’s when Wendish immigrants arrived in Texas from Germany. Although this property traded hands a few times in the latter half of the nineteenth century, historical deed records reveal an unbroken chain of title through the same family back to 1903, with the distinct possibility that ownership may trace further back to 1887.
With less than a five-minute drive from downtown Giddings, an hour from Austin, and just under two hours from Houston, this ranch is the best of both worlds — an enticing blend of rural escape and modern convenience! The topography of this ranch is generally level, with elevation ranging from 430’ near the banks of the creek to 470’ near the boundary with Highway 77. An ideal mix of open pasture and mature tree cover, this property is approximately 36.5 acres of woods that form a natural corridor that surrounds the wet-weather Pin Oak Creek. The remainder is pasture that has been improved for cattle grazing and hay production.
With slightly over 1,200’ of frontage on Highway 77, Pin Oak Creek Ranch has the unique potential for commercial development along the roadway, while maintaining the historical agricultural use of the ranch on the remainder of the property.

Topography:
The property features predominantly level terrain, with gentle elevations ranging from approximately 430 to 470 feet. Pin Oak Creek—a wet-weather creek—bisects the landscape from north to south, creating a natural corridor accentuated by roughly 36.5 acres of mature trees. The balance of the acreage, about 72 acres, has been improved for cattle grazing and hay production.
Improvements:
Improvements include two stock tanks and perimeter barbed-wire fence. The property is also cross-fenced into multiple pastures, allowing for efficient cattle rotation.
Utilities:
Water service is available through Lee County Water, with a meter and tap fee of approximately $7,200. The buyer also has the option to drill a well, subject to regulations set forth by the Lost Pines Groundwater Conservation District. Electricity is readily available at the property boundary along Highway 77. The available survey is outdated, but the Title Commitment is available upon request.
Minerals:
All minerals owned by the Sellers will be retained in their entirety. However, a surface use waiver may be negotiated in conjunction with an appropriately priced offer.
Ad Valorem Taxes:
The property currently benefits from a 1-d-1 Agricultural Use Appraisal (commonly referred to as an “ag exemption”) through cattle production. The existing lease is on a month-to-month arrangement, giving the buyer the flexibility to continue or discontinue the lease as desired.
Property Directions:
From the intersection of Highway 77 and Highway 290 in downtown Giddings, go south on Highway 77 for 3.4 miles. Entrance is on the left.
