Mar Lisa Cove is a small rural residential subdivision off Camp Mack Road in the Lake Wales area of Polk County, northwest of Lake Rosalie on the Kissimmee Chain of Lakes (Polk County records and Stellar MLS subdivision listings, 2026). It is a modest pocket of acreage homesites rather than a large master plan, with the county subdivision name recorded as MAR LISA COVE.
Homes here generally sit on roughly one to two acre lots and are typically served by private well and septic rather than municipal utilities, reflecting the rural setting (Stellar MLS listing records, 2026). Listing histories show single-family homes dating to the 1970s, several block built, with features such as detached workshops, RV hookups, and oversized parking that read as owner-occupied rural homesteads. Confirm the exact acreage, the well and septic condition, and the zoning per parcel.
Because this is a small rural pocket, the money is made or lost on the parcel, not on a neighborhood average. The drivers are the lot size and usability, the condition of the well and septic, the zoning and what it allows, the FEMA flood zone in this low lying lake country, and any documented lake or chain of lakes access for a given property. All of this has to be read from the listing, a survey, and county records.
The pitch is rural land with water nearby: Lake Rosalie is minutes away, the broader Kissimmee Chain of Lakes and the Kissimmee River are close, and Camp Mack with its lodge and marina is a short drive for boat access to the chain. The work is the diligence: verify utilities, confirm zoning and flood zone, and confirm any access rights in writing before you buy.
