The property has a rich history due to the earliest settlers recognition of the remarkably high productivity of the sandy loam topsoil overlaying the sandy clay subsoil. Since the mid 1800s the property has been associated with agricultural pursuits. Around 1850, it is believed that the property hosted a spring celebration at the site of the famous Chunnenuggee Horticultural Gardens, the property of the first local agricultural society of Alabama. A reporter wrote On the opening day of the Chunnenuggee May Fair the garden grounds, always in a high state of cultivation, are at their loveliest. The celebration led to, or coincided with, the formation of the Chunnenuggee Public Garden Club which has been touted as one of the earliest garden clubs in the United States. Later, a big peach farm operation is thought to have utilized portions of the property. This led to the community being named Peachburg. In more recent times the property has been used by Auburn University as an agricultural research station.

The property is rural and quiet in nature- but only 5 miles from Union Springs, The Bird Dog Capital of the World. Power, public water and high-speed internet are available along the road frontage.
