“I live a 10-hour round trip from the nearest grocery store.”

I understand your issue with the above sentence. It is stylistically problematic - but, strictly speaking, grammatically... possible.

A better sentence would be:

I live 5 hours (in each direction; by car) from the nearest grocery store.

But the original sentence conveys the same information in a more-compact fashion - and is, perhaps, more attention-getting.

Yeah, it is a contradiction in terms.
