Winfield Real Estate
Wetaskiwin County — Gull Lake 10km east, Lacombe 20km north on Highway 20
Homes for Sale in Winfield
Winfield's most useful feature, if you're thinking about where to live, is that Gull Lake is 10 km away. That's close enough to go fishing on a weeknight and close enough that you're in the orbit of one of central Alberta's most consistently popular recreational lakes — boating, swimming, summer community — without being so close that you're paying lakefront prices. The village itself sits in Wetaskiwin County's central Alberta parkland: mixed farming land, poplar bluffs, the quiet of an agricultural community where the seasons actually mean something. Lacombe is 20 km north on Highway 20 for the hospital and everything a city of 14,000 provides. At $175,000 average, Winfield offers central Alberta parkland living with lake access at a price that makes the package genuinely affordable.

How close is Winfield to Gull Lake?
Winfield is approximately 10 km from Gull Lake — one of central Alberta's most popular recreational lakes, known for boating, fishing, summer camping, and a well-established cottage community along its shores. That proximity isn't incidental to Winfield's appeal: for year-round residents, the lake is a Saturday-morning drive, not a special occasion. For buyers considering Gull Lake area property, Winfield's village infrastructure — school, services, and community — makes it a practical year-round base.
What county is Winfield in?
Winfield is in Wetaskiwin County (Wetaskiwin County No. 10), central Alberta — an agricultural county that stretches from the Wetaskiwin city area north into the mixed farming and lake country of the central parkland. The county encompasses some of Alberta's most productive grain land alongside the Gull Lake and Pigeon Lake recreation corridors. Lacombe, about 20 km north on Highway 20, provides the nearest hospital and full commercial services.
How far is Winfield from Lacombe?
Winfield is approximately 20 km south of Lacombe on Highway 20 — roughly 20 minutes under normal driving conditions. Lacombe serves as the practical urban anchor for Winfield residents: hospital, secondary school, grocery, and the full range of services that a city of 14,000 provides. Red Deer, about 40 km further north, handles everything else.
What is the landscape around Winfield like?
Winfield sits in central Alberta's parkland belt — the transition zone between the open prairie to the south and the boreal forest to the north, where mixed farming land, poplar bluffs, and small lakes coexist in a landscape more varied and greener than either extreme. Gull Lake to the east adds a recreational dimension. The long summer evenings of central Alberta, the particular colour of canola fields in July, and the quiet of a working agricultural community make the area distinct.
Is Winfield affordable?
Winfield's average home price of around $175,000 makes it one of the more accessible options in Wetaskiwin County's lake and parkland corridor — particularly given the Gull Lake proximity that adds recreational value most village properties at this price don't have. For buyers who want central Alberta rural living with a lake nearby and Lacombe's services 20 minutes north, Winfield offers genuine value.
What are land title transfer fees like in Alberta?
Alberta's Land Title Transfer Fees are minimal compared to Ontario's or BC's Land Transfer Taxes. At Winfield's average of around $175,000, Alberta's closing cost advantage over an Ontario equivalent is meaningful — reinforcing the overall affordability of central Alberta's parkland and lake country for buyers from higher-cost provinces.
