The flagship of the Bastrop boom. 204 Texas — approved under the name Bastrop 552 — is a nearly 600-acre self-sustained studio complex hugging the Colorado River just west of Lovers Lane, thirty miles east of Austin. It is the Texas venture of L.A.-based production-rental house Line 204 Studios, led by CEO Alton Butler, who pitches “Hollywood excellence with the spirit of Texas.”
The plan is a full production ecosystem: six studios, two 10,000-square-foot soundstages, a three-story office building, a warehouse with mill space, and on-site grip, lighting and truck rentals — roughly 500,000 square feet of built space in all. Out front sits a working longhorn ranch with immersive sets where visitors can stay the night.
The project was approved by Bastrop City Council in 2021, broke ground in 2026 after utility and permitting work, and is targeting full operation by Q2 2026. Alongside Wyldwood a few miles away, it makes Bastrop County a two-anchor production market rather than a one-project story.
