Intermountain Equestrian Center (IEC)

Billings Commercial Equestrian Facility

The Intermountain Equestrian Center (IEC) is a well-established and recognized commercial equestrian facility located just north of Billings, Montana. It has been serving the needs of horse owners for over 25 years under current ownership. Users include professional performance horse trainers, recreational users, horse lovers, and borders of all types. Additionally, colleges and non-profits such as Horses Spirits Healing – current user of IEC – attest to the complete sufficiency of the facilities for all types of users. As-is, the IEC is no more than half full, and current income generated from its various users sufficiently services the IEC’s operating expenses. However, there is plenty of opportunity for growth, especially since it’s only minutes from Billings – one of the fastest growing cities in the West. Furthermore, it has nearly 60 acres of deeded ground (comprising four individual and saleable tracts), and an additional benefit is the direct access to a 640-acre section of Montana State land for recreational use that includes riding and exercising horses. IEC has it all.

Broker’s Comments

We encourage anyone looking for a property with existing cash flow, growth potential, residential, and possibly other commercial development opportunities to look at the Intermountain Equestrian Center (IEC). The Billings, Montana area market appears to have an underserved market for equestrian facilities like IEC for private use, boarding, training, and other non-profits. IEC is a great buy and an even better investment.
