Move to Sherwood Shores

Sherwood Shores sits about 14 miles southwest of Burnet on Lake LBJ, in western Burnet County. It’s actually grown from two separate lakeside developments — one near the Roy Inks Dam, the other further downstream — that trace back to the early 1960s, when the first residents chartered a Baptist church and the community began to take shape.

What Living in Sherwood Shores Is Like

This is an unincorporated community, which shapes what living here is actually like — more rural, more independent, without the same municipal services or ordinances a city like Marble Falls has. Kids here attend Marble Falls ISD, with elementary-age students going to Highland Lakes Elementary in nearby Granite Shoals.

What to Know Before You Buy Here

Because Sherwood Shores is unincorporated, property here isn’t subject to city zoning or a city-level HOA the way some other Highland Lakes communities are — worth understanding what that does and doesn’t mean for a specific property before you buy.
Lake LBJ is a constant-level lake, so dock and shoreline conditions here tend to be more predictable year-round than on Highland Lakes reservoirs that fluctuate with rainfall.
Being a smaller, less-visible community, Sherwood Shores properties don’t always show up first in a broad Highland Lakes search — if this area interests you, it’s worth asking specifically rather than relying on a generic search to surface it.
