Buchanan County - TBD 325th Street, Brandon, IA
Have you been searching for the perfect hunting property that is also a solid investment? This combination property, just west of Brandon might be just what you are looking for. It is located in an area where I have spent lots of time chasing big whitetails. There are two streams that converge on the property; Mud Creek flows south, where it meets the Cedar River. This creek bottom has always been a main travel corridor for the deer in the area, including some real giants. The overgrown pasture part of the property shows evidence of the area's big deer; minor improvements could help keep them coming back. The approximately 15 acres of tillable are rented out for 2025 and will bring in an annual income of close to $4000.There are multiple access points from the North at 325th Street.
