This 25.03-acre property at 489 Nordic Ridge Road in Bertram near Bertram offers serious infrastructure for livestock management and recreational ranching. The 1,522-square-foot residence sits on land already configured for working cattle, with functional cattle pens, two water troughs, and crossing fences that divide the acreage into manageable pastures. A cattle guard and two gate entries provide controlled access to the property, while full fencing secures the perimeter. At $591 per square foot, the home itself is a 2016-built three-bedroom with granite counters, an open floor plan, and stainless steel appliances, but the real value centers on what's already installed outside.

The ranch sits six miles northwest of Bertram in Burnet County, positioned on a private maintained road that offers seclusion while keeping civilization close enough for practical purposes. Gently rolling terrain covered in native oak and elm creates natural windbreaks and shade for livestock. A seasonal creek crosses the back portion, and the property has no flood plain designation, making drainage predictable during Hill Country rains. The ag exemption status protects your tax burden as long as the land generates agricultural income.

Beyond cattle operations, the property is built for lifestyle integration. A 14-by-24-foot insulated party shed with a full bar sits ready for gatherings, complemented by a covered deck and hot tub overlooking the back acreage. A 420-foot zip line with entry and exit platforms spans part of the property, while ATV trails cut through the rear sections, giving you multiple ways to enjoy the ranch beyond traditional ranching. The two-car garage and RV hookup accommodate equipment storage and visiting vehicles.

Students from this address attend Shady Grove Elementary, then transition to Burnet ISD schools for middle and high school. The Bertram CISD serves this area, and the rural setting means minimal traffic concerns for families with animals and space requirements.

The combination of functional livestock infrastructure, ag-exempt status, and installed recreational facilities makes this property work immediately for someone wanting to operate a small working ranch without starting infrastructure from scratch. You're buying functional fencing, cattle handling equipment, and recreational amenities alongside the residence itself.
