Rural Grande Prairie County Rural Grande Prairie No. 1, County of T8W 5J6

Richmond Hill Estates. Acreage living on west doorstep of Grande Prairie paved to your driveway. Bonus elbow room of nine+ acres as many of the parcels here are about five or so. Rock solid 1967 build bilevel home with new roof a few years ago nestled among manicured hedges and trees which "branch" out across the property with several inviting leafy pathways leading to some apple trees, lawns, pastures, ponds and outbuildings. Here's a rare find: take a dip in the 18'X36' in-ground heated swimming pool just back of the house in a fenced privacy area. CR-5 zoning (ask for info supplement or call the County of Grande Prairie) allows for home based business, various types of structures and livestock pursuits. Owners have been here 40+ years with interests in green housing and auto parts so at time of listing there are several related outbuildings and parts which are methodically being removed from the property. Just up the drive from the home are two concrete-floor quonsets for your business, projects or RV storage. Lawn space ringed by trees sprawls behind the house and leads to a back pasture area. Look to the southwest and you might catch glimpse of the mountains. A garden with rows enough for anything you care to grow is in place and a small dugout provides water for it and the balance of greenery thriving on the acreage. Drilled well for household needs. Ten minutes to Costco. Five minutes to the airport! Saskatoon Lake campground and Provincial Park are minutes away too, as are world famous Philip J. Currie Museum and town of Wembley, just 10km west. The nearby new bypass scoots you around Grande Prairie if you need to exercise at the County Sportsplex or head for work towards Sexsmith or head east to Edmonton. Main floor is a practical layout (see floor plan supplement or in photos) anchored by a wood fireplace in the light filled southwest facing living room. Adjacent is a formal dining space which opens to the l-o-n-g country kitchen. Lino in the kitchen, carpet elsewhere. Side entry at the kitchen exits to a small deck for quick access to vehicles parked outside. Three bedrooms, four-piece bath, three piece primary bedroom ensuite complete the main level. Big (close to 500 square feet) family room in the basement with another wood fireplace. Two connected bedrooms, three-piece bathroom, laundry and shivery cold room, storage fill out the basement.
