156 El Capitan Loop Stevensville, MT 59870

Positioned on 5.3 private acres of ponderosa pine in Stevensville, this 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom, 3,072 sq ft multi-level home offers a rare combination of refined craftsmanship, meaningful improvements, and a setting that is hard to replicate in today's Bitterroot Valley. The main level is designed for living and entertaining at full scale. A vaulted great room anchored by a wood-burning stove and framed by walls of windows brings the surrounding pines and natural light deep into the home. Knotty pine cabinetry, hardwood floors, and a log staircase with hand-crafted railing carry the timber character throughout. Off the main level, a covered timber frame deck, engineered to support the Sundance Hamilton spa, creates an elevated outdoor living space with views over the pond and property, making it the natural gathering point in every season. The oversized primary suite occupies its own wing of the upper level, a generous space with a barn door entry and a fully reconfigured ensuite bathroom completed in 2025 by Beartooth Bathrooms. The renovation relocated the shower to the high-ceiling side of the room, adding a walk-in glass enclosure with rain and handheld fixtures, double vanity, and updated finishes throughout. The lower level extends the home's functionality with 2 additional bedrooms, a full bathroom, and direct access to a ground-level patio, connecting seamlessly to the landscaped grounds, spring-fed pond, and outdoor living areas beyond. This level provides the separation and privacy that works equally well for guests or a dedicated home office setup.
Together, the tiered deck, covered patio, and walkout patio create a layered indoor-outdoor living experience that flows from the main entertaining spaces all the way to the pond's edge, framed by mature ponderosa pines, landscape lighting, and a setting that simply does the work for you. The grounds include a 30 x 36 detached shop with 220 AMP service and extended Wi-Fi, a loafing shed barn with tack room, and fenced pasture. Major documented improvements include a 30 kWh EcoFlow DELTA Pro Ultra whole-home battery backup system, Nano roof preservation treatment, well pump and pressure system upgrade, and a 2026 pond and waterway enhancement.
Located in Stevensville, Montana's oldest community, conveniently located near the Bitterroot River, Lee Metcalf National Wildlife Refuge, Kootenai Creek trailhead, and downtown Stevensville dining and entertainment.
