Tucked into a quiet cul-de-sac in the heart of Lacombe, this supersized bungalow backs directly onto the trailhead of the Elizabeth Lake Trail — a stunning 5 km loop through a treed path that follows the lake, complete with scenic lookouts, benches, and a route that winds past Burman University. With only one rear neighbour, a natural treed area at the back of the property, and a small, serene pond to the left, you'll wake up to morning sunrises and peaceful surroundings that feel nothing like the center of a city.A short 10-minute walk brings you to Cranna Lake, a beloved year-round community hub featuring a beautiful 2 km scenic loop maintained by the City of Lacombe — cleared in winter and fully accessible for strollers and wheelchairs. In the colder months, enjoy free public skating on the cleared lake, cross-country skiing, and festive fireworks displays launched right from the water's edge.Sitting right in the middle of Lacombe means everything is minutes away: elementary school (4 min drive / 15 min walk), junior high (3 min / 10 min walk), high school (4 min / 20 min walk), plus Catholic and Christian school options. The local library, Performing Arts Centre, Kinsman Aquatic Centre, grocery stores, and the downtown core with shops and restaurants are all a 5-minute drive. Multiple parks are within easy walking and biking distance, and Lacombe's extensive trail systems keep the active family busy year-round.Beyond the city: Blackfalds and the Abbey Centre are 15 minutes away, Red Deer is 30 minutes, Ponoka Stampede is just 20. Calgary is 1.5 hours, Edmonton is an hour, and the mountains are 2 hours — perfectly central no matter where life takes you.Inside, every room is oversized. The main floor features the primary bedroom with excellent natural light and a walk-in closet, plus two additional generous bedrooms — all upstairs. The open-concept living and family rooms are entertainment-sized with soaring high ceilings, and the cozy fireplace anchors the li ving room as a natural gathering point. The well-planned kitchen centres around a large island with abundant counter space, perfect for family meals and entertaining. Downstairs offers extra-large bedrooms, a spacious family room with room for a pool table or play area, and a large dedicated laundry room.Step outside to the private back deck, sheltered by woodland and completely secluded from neighbours — ideal for morning coffee or evening entertaining. The front veranda offers serene views across to the nature reserve. The fenced yard, mature evergreens along the east side, and a 24' x 22' double attached insulated garage round out everything a family could ask for. The large concrete driveway handles guests with ease.This is the home that truly has it all! — space, nature, community, and location! Plus, Elizabeth Park has recently been wired with Fibre Optics!

10-item due-diligence checklist. We can pre-flight most of these for you on a CMA call.
Comparable sales
Ask for 3–5 recent solds within ~1 km and the same beds/baths so the list price has context.
Property condition
Roof age, furnace age, hot-water tank age, electrical panel size, windows. Cosmetic vs structural.
Zoning
Confirm zoning matches your intent (single-family vs duplex vs secondary suite vs commercial).
Suite legality / potential
If suited or being marketed as suited: confirm permits, separate entrance, ceiling height, egress windows.
Monthly carrying cost
Mortgage + property tax + insurance + condo fee (if any) + utilities. Compare to your max budget.
Property taxes
Confirm the annual tax amount on the current assessment — and whether a reassessment is pending.
Insurance estimate
Get a same-day quote. Older homes, knob-and-tube wiring, polybutylene plumbing, flood plains all change the number.
Commute
Drive it (or transit it) at the actual time of day you'd commute. Map ETA lies during peak hours.
Deposit and financing conditions
Deposit size, financing condition window, condition removal date, possession date — all negotiable.
Inspection considerations
Budget for a home inspector ($500–700) and any specialty inspections (sewer scope, mould, asbestos for pre-1990 builds).
Rough ballpark only. Pick a down-payment option, then tap any underlined number below to plug in your real numbers — tax, condo fee, insurance, utilities. Total updates live. Confirm with a mortgage broker before writing an offer.
Cost lines (tax, condo, insurance, utilities) are editable inline above. These two control the mortgage payment math.
Approximation only. CMHC default insurance is included when down payment is under 20%. Property tax and condo fees come from MLS when listed and may not reflect the current billing year. Suite rental income depends on permits, market rent, and vacancy — confirm with a property manager. Always validate your scenario with a mortgage broker and your insurance provider before writing an offer.
