Pricing
What is a lot in Pointe at Dale Hollow worth?
In 2025, vacant lots in Pointe at Dale Hollow sold for a median of $74,700 across 26 arm's-length sales; the middle half sold for $54,900 to $87,500. [1]
These are open-market sale prices. A direct cash offer is usually lower, because a cash buyer closes in days and takes on the time and cost of reselling the lot.
What moves the price in Pointe at Dale Hollow
Association rules and carrying costs matter
Association rules and ongoing costs affect what a vacant lot is worth to a buyer. Pointe at Dale Hollow is not a loose collection of rural lots: its owners association says it is still under developer control, and its Design Review Board must approve new construction and exterior changes such as fences and pools. The association also says its base fee funds gates, common-area work, the clubhouse and pool, insurance, and maintenance and repair of community roads. That makes the current association balance, rules, design approval and road obligations part of a buyer's due diligence. Ask the association for the current base fee, any unpaid balance, and the restrictions for the particular lot before deciding on a price. [3]
Sewer approval can change a homesite budget
Sewer status can materially change a homesite budget. The association says many lots qualify for individual, subsurface on-site sewage disposal under restrictions shown on recorded plats, while 179 sold lots were not approved for private systems and must connect to the public sewer system it describes as under construction. For a septic-eligible lot, Tennessee requires a construction permit before installation. TDEC says its review can require a rough property sketch, a soils map from a soil scientist, or an engineer design for a larger or alternative system. A state conventional permit up to 1,000 gallons per day is listed at $400, plus a $100 construction inspection. The lot's specific plat and permit record matter more than a neighborhood label. [3],[4]
Water, paved roads and community facilities
Water access and road conditions are practical value drivers here. The association says water reaches every property, the roads are paved, and the community has a gated entrance. It also identifies Southeast Clay Utility Water as a local contact, but a community-wide statement is not proof that an individual parcel has an active meter, a paid tap, or capacity for a planned house. Its published amenities include direct lake access at a pavilion, an 8,000-square-foot Lake Lodge, a pool and a playground. Those shared facilities and the association's stated road-maintenance responsibility are part of the lot's carrying-cost and use picture, not a substitute for parcel-level utility confirmation. [2],[3]
Lot size and 2025 lot sales are a starting point
Lot size and recent lot sales give a starting point, not a cash offer. The most common vacant-lot size in this subdivision scope is a mini-estate (2-3 acres), representing 18% of the 317 vacant residential lots; the median lot is 0.87 acre. In 2025, the roll recorded 26 qualifying arm's-length single-lot sales with a median recorded consideration of $74,700; the middle half ranged from $54,900–$87,500. Tennessee deeds report the greater of consideration or value, so that median is not an exact negotiated market price. Road position, view, terrain, association status, water connection and septic or sewer approval can move the offer well away from a summary number. [1]
County permits come before construction
County permit requirements affect the cost and timing of a build. In 2023, the Clay County Commission revised the county's building-permit rules; reporting on the action says the county had permit requirements since 2009. The revision noted that a Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation sewage permit is required when a building is not connected to city sewer, and it distinguishes Clay County rules from the City of Celina's separate rules. Since this page is for a subdivision in unincorporated Clay County, start with Clay County for the current building-permit process and confirm the applicable septic, sewer, electrical and association approvals before spending on plans or site work. [7],[6]
Common situations
Selling land in Pointe at Dale Hollow in these situations
You inherited a lot with association obligations
Yes. You can sell an inherited lot even if you have not used the lake or community facilities. Start by finding the deed, any association correspondence, the current base-fee statement and the plat. The association says its fee supports roads, gates, common areas, the clubhouse and pool, so a buyer will want to know the account status as well as the lot's physical condition. If title still shows a deceased owner, the title company can explain the documents needed to transfer the lot. We buy vacant land with no water, sewer or road work, and liens or back taxes can be paid from sale proceeds at closing with the seller's consent. [3]
You own a septic-eligible lot but will not build
Yes. You can sell even if the lot is approved for septic and you do not plan to construct a home. The association says many lots can use individual subsurface sewage disposal, subject to restrictions noted on the recorded plats. Tennessee requires a septic construction permit before installation, and its site review can call for lot corners and house location to be marked, site access, and soils information. Those are builder questions, not tasks an owner must complete before selling. We check utilities, access and title before offering, and a failed land inspection costs the seller nothing. [3],[5]
You live out of state and want a remote closing
Yes. You can sell from outside Tennessee. 63% of vacant-lot owners in this subdivision scope use an out-of-state mailing address. A remote sale can use electronic signing and a mail-away closing through an independent, licensed title company. Closing is typically about 10 days after the purchase agreement is signed, depending on title. The parcel details that matter here are association status, road access, water status, and whether the plat points to septic approval or future public sewer connection. [1],[3]

Questions
Selling land in Pointe at Dale Hollow: common questions
Is Pointe at Dale Hollow a city or town?
No. Pointe at Dale Hollow is a subdivision, not an incorporated city or town. This page's data scope is parcels on the Clay County roll with that subdivision name. Tennessee's state planning material separately identifies Celina as the Clay County city and the balance as unincorporated Clay County, so county rules and association requirements are the key local layers for this community.
Does my lot need septic or public sewer?
It depends on the individual lot. The association says many lots qualify for regulated on-site septic subject to recorded-plat restrictions, while 179 sold lots not approved for private systems must connect to public sewer it describes as under construction. For a septic system, Tennessee requires a construction permit and may require a site evaluation, soils map or engineer design. Read the plat and permit record before assuming either option.
Does the HOA have to approve my building plans?
Yes. The Pointe at Dale Hollow Design Review Board must approve new construction and exterior modifications, including examples the association gives such as fences and pools. That approval is separate from any public permit. Get the current design guidelines, application process and account status before committing to a house design or putting a construction budget together.
Who handles building permits for this subdivision?
Clay County is the public permit layer for this unincorporated subdivision. Reporting on the county's 2023 rule revision says Clay County has had building-permit requirements since 2009 and that the City of Celina has separate rules. The rule update also identified a TDEC sewage permit for construction not connected to city sewer. Confirm the current county application steps and the association's separate design approval before building.
Can I sell a lot with HOA fees or unfinished utility work?
Yes. We buy vacant lots and land for cash, including lots with no water, sewer or road work. The association says its base fee supports roads, gates and common facilities, while the sewer path can differ by lot. We check utilities, access and title on every parcel before offering. You get a written, no-obligation cash offer within 24 hours, and closing through an independent, licensed title company is typically about 10 days after the purchase agreement is signed, depending on title.

Guides for your situation
- How Cash Land Buyers Price Offers
A cash-land offer may start with verified sales of land with similar use, then adjust those sales for meaningful differences.[1] Buyers may also account for access, utilities, legal use, size, shape, flood and soil questions, title issues, demand, and costs and risk they will carry. No universal assessed-value percentage applies. Compare each written offer by expected net proceeds, contingencies, seller work, and timing—not one asking price or headline number.
- Can You Sell Land With a Lien?
Yes. Land with a lien can often be sold, but signing a deed does not by itself erase a valid claim. The lien may need to be paid, released, discharged, or otherwise resolved under the law that applies. With the seller's consent, an approved payoff can come from sale proceeds at closing. If the balance or lien is wrong, dispute it before closing and require proof of the cure.
- How to Sell Land From Another State
You usually do not have to travel to sell land in another state. A title company, escrow company, or closing attorney can coordinate title review, approved signing and notarization, recording, and payment by check or wire. The main limits are state-specific deed rules and title: every owner and signer must have authority. Independently verify the parcel, closing company, and payment instructions before signing.

Method and sources
Parcel and assessment figures cover parcels on the Clay County roll whose subdivision name is Pointe at Dale Hollow. Source [1] is our own count of the Tennessee Comptroller of the Treasury's county parcel and assessment files (assessment data dated August 28, 2026): a vacant lot is a residential parcel with no buildings, mobile home or improvement value; values are the county assessor's appraised (market) value; sale prices count only 2025 warranty-deed sales of a single lot that was vacant when it sold, at $1,000 or more, with bulk deeds and development-land deals removed. Treat medians as a guide to recent recorded amounts, not as an offer or an appraisal. Page updated October 2, 2026.
