About Onyx

Onyx is a quiet rural community set in the South Fork Kern River Valley, just east of Lake Isabella. With fewer than 500 residents, daily life moves at a relaxed pace surrounded by open ranchland and rugged mountain backdrops. The historic Onyx Store has stood here since the 1860s, preserving a strong sense of local heritage. It appeals to people looking for wide-open spaces, dark night skies, and quick access to the outdoors.
