Just 4 ½ miles east of Smithville, 14 ½ miles southeast of Bastrop, and only 50 miles southeast of downtown Austin in eastern Bastrop County. The property features over 265 ft of Colorado River frontage and is on the river's high bank side, reducing the floodplain.

Sand and gravel mining is also fairly common in this area with the nearest sand and gravel mining operation only two miles away.
