Hillside Colony offers a rare combination of wide-open sky, productive farmland, and a close-knit Hutterite way of life. Recognized as a census-designated place, it’s shaped by grain fields, livestock operations, and skilled workshops that keep daily life purposeful and neighborly. For a clear snapshot of size and demographics, the U.S. Census Bureau profile provides helpful context. Quiet roads, big sunsets, and community rhythms make it appealing for anyone seeking space without losing a sense of connection.
Outdoor time comes naturally here. Anglers can work nearby waters via Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks’ fishing access sites, while hunters benefit from the state’s Block Management program that opens private lands for public use. Expanses of public land managed by the BLM invite hiking, wildlife photography, and long, unbroken views—especially striking on crisp winter days and during star-filled summer nights.
Families appreciate the focused learning environment of a colony school coordinated through the Montana Office of Public Instruction’s Colony Schools program, with older students often supplementing coursework through the Montana Digital Academy. Local producers tap research-based know-how from MSU Extension, and winter travel planning is made easier with MDT’s 511 traveler information when weather rolls across the plains.
