Agricultural roots that remain to this day
Persimmon Grove is an unincorporated community in Limestone County, located 10 miles south of the Alabama/Tennessee border. The Cherokee and Chickasaw tribes inhabited the area before being forcibly removed as part of the Cherokee Land Cession in 1806. Limestone County was established in 1818 and the area was primarily used for agriculture. After the Civil War, Limestone County saw a major population boom fueled by reconstruction. Today, Persimmon Grove still retains its agricultural roots while new home construction continues nearby.
Mid-20th-century homes and new construction
The community features a mix of 20th-century ranches and new craftsman-style homes built within the last 20 years. New construction is still ongoing, with several homes currently being built off Buck Island Road. Most homes here have larger lot sizes, some with as much as 10 acres of land. However, newer homes tend to have smaller lot sizes than original properties, averaging around a half-acre of land each. Persimmon Grove homes tend to stay on the market for about a month and typically sell for between $150,000 to $300,000.
