About the Area
0000 Hidden Shores Rd is located in Smithville, Texas, in Bastrop County.

The Colorado River flows through the county, and the Lost Pines ecosystem creates a uniquely lush landscape unusual for Central Texas. Bastrop State Park preserves thousands of acres of pine forest that survived and recovered from the devastating 2011 wildfires.
