Lake Mary Jane’s seclusion is increasingly unique in Orlando
The Lake Mary Jane community, named for a secluded body of water southeast of Orlando, is surrounded by parks and two residential developments: Isle of Pines and Live Oak Estates. The two subdivisions border the lake’s north and east sides, while green spaces to the west and south ward off encroaching development. When Rick Smallish moved to Orlando from Wisconsin, he and his wife sought something separate from Central Florida’s constant growth. They found it in Isle of Pines. “You can’t find a lot of places like this left in Florida,” says Smallish, now the president of the property owner’s association. “People are constantly getting other people knocking on their door, asking if they want to sell their house.”
Lake Mary is a census-designated place and unincorporated area in Orange County, Florida.

Buyers can find large yards and lakefront properties
Pines and palms shade ranch homes and separate lots in Isle of Pines, where Smallish watches from his front yard as deer skitter around and neighbors ramble by on four-wheelers and golf carts. “If I had a complaint, it would be you can’t get any yard work done because neighbors come by on a golf cart with beers and want to have a beer with you,” he says. In Live Oak Estates, the landscape is slightly more manicured, but Mediterranean-style and new traditional homes still enjoy privacy on 1-acre lots.
Homes in Isle of Pines typically range from $400,000 to $700,000, while houses in Live Oak Estates vary from $635,000 to about $1 million. In either community, houses on the lake with private docks can cost between $825,000 and $1.9 million. Flood zones cover most of the lakefront, so mortgage lenders may require homebuyers there to have flood insurance.
The CAP Index crime score is 1 out of 10, lower than the national average of 4.

Recreation on the lake and marshland trails
While much of the lakefront is covered with homes, Moss Park on the west side allows for public access to a boat ramp and fishing piers. A short canal connects Lake Mary Jane to nearby Lake Hart, giving boaters two bodies of water to explore. Isle of Pines has its own small park with a boat ramp, maintained by the property owner’s association. It’s voluntary to join the association, and those who pay annual dues get access to the park, where they can store kayaks, use the playground and shoot hoops. To the south, hiking and equestrian trails wind through the marshes of Isle of Pines Preserve.
Kayaking is very popular on Lake Mary Jane in Moss Park.
You can always find White Ibis on the small boat ramp in Moss Park.

Isle of Pines POA organizes events
In Isle of Pines, property owner’s association dues also fund events, from Easter egg hunts to Christmas celebrations complete with turkey dinners and a visit from Santa. The association also launches fireworks from the boat ramp on July 4, and the community feasts on fried fish that fathers and sons catch together on Father’s Day.
