Sherwood Shores III is the section of Sherwood Shores that sits about a mile downstream from Roy Inks Dam, off Historic Park Road 4, roughly 10 miles southwest of Burnet — right where the Colorado River opens up into the upper end of Lake LBJ. It’s one of the two original lakeside developments the wider Sherwood Shores community grew from, and unlike the rest of the area, it’s organized as its own deed-restricted subdivision with an active property owners association, established in 1964.

A Deed-Restricted Community With Its Own POA
Sherwood Shores III Property Owners Association has been on file since 1964, with a Certificate of Incorporation, by-laws, and recorded deed restrictions covering the subdivision. An Architectural Review Authority, required under Texas Property Code Sec. 209.00505, reviews improvements and enforces those restrictions — things like overgrown lots, junk vehicles and boats, and deteriorating structures. The board meets quarterly (the second Saturday of January, April, and July) plus an annual meeting each October, and keeps an email list for agendas and announcements. Assessment fees are billed annually and due January 1st; the POA doesn’t publish a set dues amount, so ask for the current figure directly if you’re looking at a specific property here.
Lake Access and Utilities
Members in good standing on dues get access to the association’s Waterfront Park, which has a private dock and pier system on Lake LBJ — access is by key, and keys are reissued when dues are current. Water service in Sherwood Shores III comes from the City of Granite Shoals, and Burnet County handles E-911 addressing for the subdivision, both worth confirming on any specific lot before you buy.
How This Fits Into the Rest of Sherwood Shores
Sherwood Shores as a whole grew from two separate lakeside developments dating to the early 1960s — this one near Roy Inks Dam, and a second, unnamed section farther downstream on Lake LBJ.
