Bertram, TX 78605 (Burnet County)
About this property
Are you looking for peace next to a flowing stream? Here it is just 15 min. from both Burnet and Bertram west of Liberty Hill on the North San Gabriel River! This Wildlife Exempt 60+ acre ranch is split in two by the San Gabriel River! Partially fenced on two sides it once was open for grazing, but now is a sanctuary for songbirds. Through the gate and down the gravel path that runs parallel to the river you will pass groves of towering pecan trees shading the meadows. The shed on the north tract holds the water well and holding tank. Much of the property is natural with oaks, cedar, pecan, cottonwood, and mesquite trees. The land is subdivided into two lots, and offers many possibilities of use: build guest cottages on the south side of the river? How about a house on one side of the river, a walking bridge over the river for access to another house? Clear space for gardens? Wildlife is abundant: deer, wild hogs, turkeys, and if sunflowers are planted you may be able to entice more quail. Wildlife Exemption currently for Songbirds provides a significant tax break, plus you don’t have to run cattle to take advantage of the Exemption! Join the Wild Life!

About the Area
5150 CR 254 None is located in Bertram, Texas, in Burnet County. Burnet County sits in the heart of the Highland Lakes region, anchored by the city of Burnet, the Bluebonnet Capital of Texas, and Lake Buchanan, the largest of the Highland Lakes chain. The county blends working ranch land with lakefront recreation in a landscape that has drawn Texans for generations.
The Colorado River was dammed in the 1930s to create the Highland Lakes chain, and Lake Buchanan and Inks Lake both lie within Burnet County. The terrain transitions from the granite-topped Central Mineral Region in the west to limestone hills in the east, with the Colorado River canyon cutting through dramatic bluffs.

Lake tourism, retirement communities, granite quarrying, ranching, and small-scale agriculture drive the Burnet County economy. The county is experiencing significant growth as Austin-area buyers seek lakefront properties and acreage within a 90-minute drive of the city.
