Bastrop sits along Highway 71 southeast of Austin. Actual drive time depends on where in Austin you're going and time of day — I'm happy to talk through specific commutes.

Can I find homes with acreage?+

Yes. Bastrop, Smithville, Elgin, and the surrounding areas have a range of acreage options, from a few acres to larger tracts.

Do you work with investors and developers?+

Yes — from single-family rentals to land, acreage, RV parks, and commercial opportunities.

Can you help me buy before I visit Texas?+

Absolutely. I regularly work with out-of-state relocation clients — video walkthroughs, area tours, and a clear plan before you fly in.
