Sherwood Shores is one of the original sections of Granite Shoals, platted back in 1962 out of the old Phillips, Naumann, and Ebeling ranch land — at the time it was the largest platted subdivision in the state of Texas. It still has that original lakeside-neighborhood feel — narrow winding streets, a mix of older lake cottages and newer builds, and water access that’s hard to find at this price point anywhere else on Lake LBJ.

Living on Lake LBJ in Sherwood Shores
Granite Shoals calls itself the “City of Parks,” and Sherwood Shores is close to several of them — fifteen of Granite Shoals’ nineteen city parks sit right on the Lake LBJ shoreline, which means public boat ramps and lake access are never far from any Sherwood Shores address. Lake LBJ is one of the few constant-level lakes in the Highland Lakes chain, so docks and boathouses hold their water year-round instead of sitting exposed during drawdown season like they do on some of the other lakes nearby.
Homes here range from smaller original lake cottages to more recently built waterfront properties, so price points vary a lot more than in a typical subdivision — a buyer working with me on Sherwood Shores usually needs to see both ends of that range before narrowing in on what actually fits.
