Nestled within the breathtaking landscapes of Montana, horse ranches epitomize the rugged charm of the Big Sky Country. Montana's vast expanses of rolling hills, pristine meadows, and mountainous terrains create an idyllic setting for these ranches, where the equestrian spirit thrives.

The Montana State University Department of Animal and Range Sciences estimates that in the State of Montana there are between 150,000 and 180,000 horses. From seasoned ranchers to avid trail riders and competitive equestrians, Montana's horse culture embodies a unique blend of tradition and modernity. The vast, unspoiled landscapes of Montana provide an idyllic backdrop for horse-related activities, including trail riding through the mountains, cattle ranching on sprawling ranches, and participating in rodeos. According to the National Agricultural Statistics Service, Montana has 27,400 farms and ranches that encompass 59.8 million acres, placing the state second in terms of ranch land, right after Texas.

Montana's economy is characterized by a diverse tapestry of industries that reflect the state's natural resources, outdoor recreation, and agricultural strength. Historically rooted in ranching, farming, and mining, the Treasure State has expanded its economic portfolio to include tourism, technology, and energy. As of 2022, Montana’s GDP stood at $49.7 billion. Agriculture remains a cornerstone, with cattle ranching, wheat farming, and barley production playing pivotal roles. The state's wealth of natural resources, including timber and minerals, also contribute substantially to its economic output.

Lost Creek Ranch - 1327 Aces with Trophy ELK

Greycliff, Sweet Grass County, Montana


Hunt, fish, ride and hideout on this 1327-acre Montana ranch near Big Timber. There is a 1.2 mile private drive from the main ranch gate to the 5111 sf, 5 /4.5 compound. This is the sole property in the valley and the home is beautifully crafted with 19th-century hand-hewn timbers, dry-laid stone fireplaces, chef's kitchen, multiple entertainment zones, grand vistas and a 2000 bottle custom walnut wine cellar. There are 8+ garage spaces in total including indoor RV parking. The recent and separate 5500+ sq ft entertainment pavilion has a half basketball court or classic car showroom, grand hall, speakeasy, media room & workshop area. Escape to your own hideaway 2/1 cabin located 1.5 miles away on the property. This refuge has stunning view of Crazy Mountains.The ranch also includes an adjacent BLM land lease & 10+ miles of ATV/horse trails which access prime elk & deer hunting. Fenced pastures, a trout pond with dock, RV hookup/parking for the distant relatives are added bonuses. To be clear, there is ALL SEASON access to I-90. A Yellowstone River boat launch is 2 miles away across the highway and the absolutely charming Greycliff Mill ( https://greycliffmill.com/ ) is just 3 miles away. Billings and Bozeman airports are 72 miles and 59 miles, respectively. The nearby Big Timber and Livingston air strips are close for private aviation. Billings and Bozeman commercial airports have direct flights to LAX, SD, SFO, EWR, DEN, Minneapolis, OHare, Houston and others....some flights are seasonal but both are within an hour +/- drive on 80 mph on I-90. This is a not to be missed opportunity. The Lost Creek Ranch is an investment in the future. This iconic Montana ranch would be difficult and costly to duplicate. As large as the property is, the owners have chosen not to run their own cattle or hay. As a result there is no overhead salary expense for a ranch manager or wranglers. The property is virtually self sufficient and move in ready. With little effort the ranch could be commercialized for the 1031 exchange minded buyer. NB: www.LostCreekRanch.org will be populated with video, updated photos, dialogue and local cultural opportunities in mid May 2024.

Intermountain Equestrian Center

Billings, Yellowstone County, Montana


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 like Horses Spirits Healing https://horsesspiritshealing.org/ - 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.
