Montana Ranch Preserving Legacy and Productivity

Set in the heart of the Bitterroot Valley, the sprawling St. Clair Ranch spans approximately 244 deeded acres of productive ground with deep agricultural roots, strong equestrian infrastructure, and iconic Montana scenery in every direction. Just minutes from Stevensville and within easy reach of both Missoula and Hamilton, this is a working property with all the essentials and plenty of Montana character. The recently remodeled two-bedroom, three-bathroom main home blends classic rustic design with modern comfort. Natural materials, warm wood tones, and simple, enduring finishes give it a timeless feel that fits right into the landscape. With 3,000 square feet of living space, the home is spacious without feeling overbuilt—comfortable, practical, and authentically Montanan. The remodel includes a new boiler system, new wood flooring, new Pella windows, updated electrical wiring, new lighting, removal of non-structural interior timbers, fresh interior paint, stained ceilings, new structural timbers at entryways, a new kitchen sink, a Wolf gas cooktop, new quartz countertops, and more. The exterior has also been updated with fresh paint and a new 30-year asphalt shingle roof. A separate 950 square foot, two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment above one of the barns provides additional living space for guests, caretakers, or renters. There is also a one-bedroom, one-bath guest suite with a kitchenette, offering even more flexibility. The equestrian and ranch amenities are extensive on this property, featuring an outside arena, barn with stalls, storage, a tack room, horse wash bay, and indoor trailer parking. Pole barns offer ample hay storage to support the property's strong hay production. A large shop with four overhead doors provides plenty of space for equipment, trailers, and daily operations. Multiple creeks run through the property, and a large portion of the acreage is protected by a conservation easement that preserves its agricultural integrity and scenic value for future generations. Historic water rights, some dating back to the 1800s, support the ranch's long-standing productivity. With panoramic mountain views and essential infrastructure already in place, this ranch offers space to breathe, the ability to carry on a true Montana legacy, and the chance to enjoy the natural beauty and abundant wildlife of the Bitterroot Valley.
