A home among the trees.
The Colony sits along the Colorado River in Bastrop. Mature trees, miles of trails and the river give this part of Bastrop a sense of place that feels distinctly different from closer-in Austin. Nearby, Bastrop State Park protects part of the Lost Pines, which Texas Parks & Wildlife identifies as the westernmost stand of loblolly pine trees in the United States.

The New Colony is the newer, non-gated portion of The Colony where these Drees homes are located. Its three amenity centers are the Lakehouse, Prairie Vista and the Treehouse, with pools, gathering spaces and trails woven into everyday life.
A pool, large play structures, and shaded picnic areas — the easy-going center of family life in the new Colony.
Resort-style pool, a fully equipped fitness room, indoor event space, and a lakeside dock for paddleboarding and kayaking — plus the outdoor stage where most community events come to life. 630 Sam Houston Dr.
Opened Labor Day week 2026 with a 5,000-square-foot pool and a big shaded patio with wide views. Outdoor grills are being added for cookouts.
A 9-hole disc golf course through the trees, shaded dog parks, a bike pump track, pickleball, catch-and-release fishing ponds, and miles of connected trails — many running along the Colorado River. A full-time Lifestyle Coordinator keeps the calendar full.
A food truck spot next to Lake House Park, across from a neighborhood park and catty-corner to Colony Oaks Elementary. Phase 1 broke ground this summer, and the developer is targeting a Q1 2027 opening.
