The Historic Waco Castle, also known as Cottonland Castle, is pending sale in Waco, Texas, as of Friday, September 18, 2026. This 135-year-old property was purchased by Chip and Joanna Gaines in 2019 and meticulously renovated to preserve its historical integrity.
The 6,176-square-foot residence features four bedrooms and four bathrooms, with interior highlights including antique tile floors and diamond-paned windows. Chip Gaines had expressed a two-decade-long desire to own and restore the castle to its former grandeur.
The renovation process was a central theme in their 2022 Magnolia Network series, Fixer Upper: The Castle. Joanna Gaines noted the lengthy pursuit of the property, crediting Chip's persistence for making the restoration possible.
In June 2026, the couple also listed their Colonial-style Hillcrest Estate for $1.7 million and a restored Gristmill for $935,000, both of which remain on the market.
