There’s usually a trade-off with acreage living. More land can mean an older house. A newer home can mean a longer drive. And finding nearly 10 acres with room for horses or cattle often means compromising somewhere else. 27244 Highway 42 is the exception. Built by Trueline, this well-cared-for 1,370 Sq.Ft. Bungalow sits on 9.98 acres with AG zoning, just minutes from Penhold and an easy drive to Red Deer. With 3 Bedrooms, 3 full Bathrooms, an Attached Heated Double Garage and the spaces you use most all on the Main Floor, it offers a combination that is increasingly difficult to find.
One of the biggest advantages here is how comfortably the home works for everyday life. The spacious Foyer gives you room to come and go without feeling crowded, while the Living Room is lined with large windows that bring in plenty of natural light. Hardwood flooring adds warmth underfoot and a gas fireplace creates a natural focal point for the room.
The Kitchen has been planned around usable workspace and storage. Beautiful wood-tone cabinetry provides plenty of room for everything you want close at hand, with a wall pantry adding even more storage. There’s generous counter space for meal prep, matching appliances and a peninsula that gives you another place to pull up a chair, serve dinner or spread out when the Kitchen gets busy.
Just off the main living areas, a dedicated Office with built-ins means working from home doesn’t have to take over a Bedroom or the Kitchen table. It’s an equally useful space for managing paperwork, hobbies or simply keeping the household organized.
The Primary Bedroom is also on the Main Floor, with its own Walk-In Closet and private 4 Piece Ensuite. An additional 4 Piece Bathroom, Main Floor Laundry and direct access to the Attached Heated Double Garage keep the practical parts of daily life on one level. Whether that matters to you today or you’re thinking about how a home will work years from now, it’s a layout with real staying power.
The fully developed lower level gives you the extra space that makes a Bungalow so versatile. A large Rec Room can handle movie nights, games, exercise equipment or a second TV area without competing with the Living Room upstairs. Two spacious Bedrooms and another full 4 Piece Bathroom make this level comfortable for family or overnight guests, while dedicated storage and utility space help keep everything else tucked away.
Then there’s the land. At 9.98 acres, you have considerably more room than many newer acreage properties offer. AG zoning allows for horses or cattle, opening up possibilities for buyers who want animals, more outdoor space or simply some breathing room around them. Yet acreage life here doesn’t require giving up quick access to town. Penhold is only minutes away, with Red Deer within an easy commute for work, shopping and everything else that brings you into the city.
The property has been well maintained, including new shingles in 2023, so you’re not starting your acreage experience with a long list of obvious projects. Instead, you’re getting a newer home, nearly 10 acres and a location that keeps everyday life convenient.
For buyers who have been waiting for an acreage because they don’t want an older house, a major renovation or a lengthy drive every time they need something in town, 27244 Highway 42 offers a very different option: room for the life you want, in a home and location that make it practical to enjoy it.
