The San Antonio & Hill Country → Bastrop corridor
The San Antonio-to-Bastrop move is roughly a 95-mile run, and rather than fighting the I-35 grind straight up the middle of the corridor, it swings around the eastern edge of the metro on TX-71. Crews leaving San Antonio pick up I-10 East through Seguin, climb onto the SH-130 tollway to bypass Austin's downtown congestion, and merge onto TX-71 East near Austin-Bergstrom International Airport and Del Valle. Loads originating in Boerne, Fair Oaks Ranch, or Comfort drop down I-10 into San Antonio first, and a Kerrville or Fredericksburg pickup runs that same I-10 feeder before joining the tollway — which is exactly why a search for "Kerrville to Bastrop" or "Boerne to Bastrop" lands on this page. Heading east on TX-71 the route passes the Circuit of the Americas and the Tesla Gigafactory area around Del Valle, skirts McKinney Roughs Nature Park, and drops into the Lost Pines — the geographically isolated loblolly-pine forest that gives Bastrop its unmistakable scenery — before crossing the Colorado River into the historic downtown.
In free-flowing conditions this is about an hour and twenty to an hour and forty behind the wheel, with the Del Valle stretch past the airport being the main chokepoint — and it can thicken dramatically on Circuit of the Americas event weekends, when the Formula 1 United States Grand Prix or an Austin City Limits crowd floods TX-71. The terrain shifts noticeably along the way: crews leave the limestone hills and the Balcones Escarpment behind San Antonio, roll east across the flatter Blackland Prairie, and finish in the sandy, pine-shaded Lost Pines country along the Colorado. At 95 miles this is a comfortable single-day, door-to-door move with no overnight staging, and RiverHills runs it owner-operated under Jackson Williams — one crew loading, hauling, and unloading the same day, with everything riding blanket-wrapped and padded in a clean truck. The SH-130 tollway is the quickest line in, and crews typically stage a mid-morning San Antonio departure to clear the Del Valle bottleneck.
Your household on one truck, San Antonio to Bastrop.
Padded, blanket-wrapped, and carried by the same crew from load to delivery — no interlining, no strangers on your shipment.
About Bastrop, TX
Bastrop sits on the Colorado River about 30 miles southeast of downtown Austin, the seat of Bastrop County and one of the oldest towns in Texas — laid out in 1832, its walkable historic district is packed with restored 19th-century storefronts, the Bastrop Opera House, and Spanish colonial-revival buildings that have earned it a reputation as one of the state's most historic small towns. The river anchors town life at Fisherman's Park and the downtown Main Street bridge, while the surrounding Lost Pines — a stand of loblolly pine isolated well west of the species' normal range — frame Bastrop State Park and neighboring Buescher State Park, both dotted with 1930s Civilian Conservation Corps cabins. Just north of town, Lake Bastrop's North and South Shore parks and the Hyatt Regency Lost Pines Resort and Spa along the Colorado draw weekenders from across Central Texas.
The local economy has been reshaped by Austin's eastward push. Elon Musk's companies have planted a fast-growing footprint in and around Bastrop — the Boring Company's headquarters, a SpaceX Starlink manufacturing facility, and related operations — while the Tesla Gigafactory and Circuit of the Americas sit a short drive west along the TX-71 and SH-130 corridor. Longstanding anchors round out the base: Bastrop ISD, Bastrop County and city government, HEB, the Hyatt Lost Pines resort, and healthcare providers including Ascension Seton's facilities in the county. A large share of residents also commute west into southeast Austin and the airport-area job cluster.
On cost of living, Bastrop generally lands below Austin proper while sitting broadly in line with San Antonio — but the trade tends to favor space: buyers frequently find larger lots, wooded acreage, and riverfront or golf-course homesites for money that would buy a much tighter suburban parcel back in San Antonio. Home prices have climbed with the Austin and Musk-driven boom, though Texas's lack of a state income tax keeps more take-home pay working in a mover's favor.
trending_upWhy people move to Bastrop
- check_circleAustin-metro and tech-corridor jobs without Austin prices — the Tesla Gigafactory, Circuit of the Americas, and the Austin-Bergstrom airport job cluster all sit a short TX-71 drive west, letting households tap that economy while living in a smaller, cheaper town.
- check_circleThe Elon Musk boom right in the county — the Boring Company headquarters and a SpaceX Starlink facility have brought high-tech jobs to Bastrop itself, so a growing number of residents can live and work on the same side of the metro.
- check_circleRoom to spread out — Bastrop routinely delivers larger lots, wooded homesites, and acreage (Tahitian Village, Circle D-KC Estates, ColoVista) that are hard to match in San Antonio's built-out suburbs.
- check_circleThe Lost Pines outdoor lifestyle — Bastrop and Buescher State Parks, Lake Bastrop, and Colorado River paddling and fishing offer a pine-forest-and-river setting unlike anything around San Antonio.
- check_circleHistoric small-town character — an 1832 riverfront town with a genuinely walkable Main Street, the Bastrop Opera House, and a tight-knit arts-and-events scene, a real change of pace from big-city San Antonio.
- check_circleFast growth that's still relatively affordable — new master-planned communities like The Colony, a growing Bastrop ISD, and home prices below Austin proper make it a value play inside a booming metro.

How a San Antonio-area to Bastrop move is quoted + timed
Every move is estimated for the specific shipment — no published rate card. These are the details RiverHills reviews before discussing price and schedule.
Weather & timing for your Bastrop move
Bastrop has hot Central Texas summers — July and August highs regularly in the upper 90s and often topping 100 — and mild winters with only a handful of hard freezes each year. Two seasonal risks shape a move here more than most Texas towns. First, the Lost Pines and long droughts make late summer and early fall the peak wildfire window; the 2011 Bastrop County Complex Fire remains the most destructive in Texas history, so burn bans and dry-season awareness are genuine considerations. Second, this is still Flash Flood Alley — the Colorado River and area creeks can rise fast, and Central Texas rainfall peaks in spring (May) and again in early fall (September-October). The most comfortable moving windows are March-April, before the summer heat sets in, and late October through November, after the storm and fire season eases; mild winter days work well too. If a summer move is unavoidable, crews plan an early start to beat the heat — and because RiverHills hauls in clean, padded, blanket-wrapped trucks rather than climate-controlled ones, heat-sensitive items should be planned around.

How far is the drive from San Antonio to Bastrop, and how long does it take? expand_more
It's roughly 95 miles. The fastest line runs I-10 East out of San Antonio through Seguin, up the SH-130 tollway to bypass Austin, then east on TX-71 through Del Valle and the Lost Pines into Bastrop — about an hour and twenty to an hour and forty in normal traffic, and longer if a Circuit of the Americas event is on. Moves out of Boerne, Kerrville, or Fredericksburg feed into San Antonio first and run the same corridor. At this distance it's a comfortable single-day, door-to-door move with no overnight staging.
Is a San Antonio-to-Bastrop move intrastate, and is RiverHills properly licensed for it? expand_more
Yes — both cities are in Texas, so this is an intrastate household-goods move regulated by the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles, and RiverHills operates under TxDMV number 009770506C. RiverHills also holds full interstate household-goods authority — USDOT 3561425 and MC-1196218 — so if a move ever crosses state lines, it's handled under our own operating authority rather than brokered out to another carrier.
What shapes the estimate for a San Antonio-to-Bastrop move? expand_more
Every move is custom-quoted, never priced off a fixed table. The biggest factors are the size of your home and how much is going, access at both ends — stairs, long carries, gated-community or HOA rules, the narrow hilly streets in Tahitian Village, or long rural driveways on acreage homesites — whether you want full or partial packing, and any storage needs. We walk through the details with you before putting a number to it.
Can RiverHills hold my belongings if my Bastrop closing date doesn't line up? expand_more
Yes. If your move-out and move-in dates don't match, RiverHills can arrange storage-in-transit and stage your belongings until your Bastrop home is ready, with everything kept blanket-wrapped and padded. Because timelines and volume vary from move to move, storage is folded into your custom quote rather than billed off a set rate.
