"I live two hours away from there."
=> 나는 그곳에서 두 시간 떨어진 곳에 산다.
=> 우리 집은 [나 사는 곳은] 그곳에서 두 시간 떨어져 있다. (My house is two hours away from there)
So "away" is 떨어진, 떨어져 있는(adjective), and 떨어져(서) or 떨어진 곳에(advreb).
All come from the verb 떨어지다 (be away, be split apart, be separated), which also means "fall" or "drop".
In your example, 떨어진 곳에 is more natural than 떨어져서, but 떨어져 may work better in other contexts.
For example, 두 사람은 2년이나 떨어져 지냈다 (The two lived away from each other for two years).
There is also 멀리(far - adverb), or 멀리 있다(be far away) which is short for 멀리 떨어져 있다.
Example: 저 멀리 (있는) 도시의 불빛들 (Far, far away from those city lights) - from Wilco's song "Far, Far Away".
