Lance Armstrong Drops Price on Texas Estate
By: Diane Tuman, Zillow Content Manager | June 15, 2009
Seven-time Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong recently used Twitter to announce the arrival of his fourth child, but nary a word about a price drop on his magnificent estate in Dripping Springs, TX. Armstrong’s 447-acre property at 560 Deadman’s Hole, Dripping Springs, TX 78620, was just recently reduced to $10.5 million — a $1.5 million price drop from its original $12 million asking price.
According to Statesman.com, Armstrong had the house built in 2003 and it has “…seven miles of hike-and-bike trails, Hill Country views and 1,886 feet of frontage on the Pedernales River, as well as ownership in Dead Man’s Hole, the famous natural swimming pool.” This is where Armstrong wrote “Every Second Counts,” his best-selling memoir about his battle with cancer, explaining that he would challenge himself by jumping from the ledges around Dead Man’s Hole.
The home contains 5 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, has an infinity-edge pool, fire pits, and is 4,241 square feet. Dripping Springs is located about 25 miles west of Austin, TX.
Armstrong is prepping for the Tour de France, which begins on July. 4. You can follow Lance Armstrong on Twitter.

I usually don’t like the tastes of celebrities when it comes to housing, but Lance’s home looks pretty cool.
