The Property
35 Acres. 1 Purpose
The Onyx campus in Springfield, Georgia is a piece of land that holds a lot more than buildings. It holds possibility. Two stocked ponds, open land for agricultural education, gardens, and a small collection of farm animals are all teaching aids.
This is not a manicured campus designed to impress from the road. It is a working campus designed to form people. Come expecting to see something real.
The Schoolhouse
Real Learning in a One-Room Schoolhouse
Located adjacent to The Onyx, is a five-acre property used by Faithful Roots Schoolhouse. This private micro-school (think one-room schoolhouse) is independently owned and operated by Jessica and Dalton Mitchell and supported by a shared vision for thoughtful, Christian, hands-on education.
The school is being developed through the renovation of an existing residence into a welcoming schoolhouse aligned with the architectural character and aesthetic of the broader campus.
Through planned access to portions of the surrounding campus environment, students may participate in nature-based learning, interaction with animals, pond and outdoor experiences, and practical life-skills opportunities.
The Community Hall
1,900 Square Feet of Flex
Originally built as an 11-car garage, this space has been thoughtfully transformed into a multipurpose community room. It now serves as a flexible setting for workshops, meetings, and classes.
Large roll-up doors line the space, opening wide to bring the outdoors in and create an easy connection to the surrounding landscape. When closed, the room becomes a fully climate-controlled environment, comfortable in every season.
The Manor
Stay with Intention
The Onyx residence is a 5,000-square-foot, 3 bedroom, 3.5 bath home available for private rental.
Whether you’re hosting a small retreat, visiting the campus for an event, or simply looking for a distinctive place to stay in Springfield, the residence offers something that a hotel cannot: waking up on 35 acres with nowhere to rush to. Guests may wander to the ponds, walk the gardens, or sit with the open land and let the hours lengthen.
The residence is booked separately from the gathering hall, though groups may reserve both for a more complete experience.
The Land
Where the Water Teaches and the Soil Speaks
Ponds: Two stocked ponds anchor the property, waiting for the small ceremonies of bait and line that come on Family Fishing Day.
Agriculture: Young hands press seeds into the earth with a seriousness that no book quite commands. What rises is not only vegetables, but a certain knowledge.
Farm: The animals play their part too, as children learn to care for other living things. Here, lessons are gathered rather than assigned.
It’s not an excursion arranged for novelty, but a habit of days, steady and plain, like truth itself.
What’s Coming
The campus is not finished.
This great campus is still under construction, not because it wasn’t planned well, but because it was planned to grow. The vision includes a larger gathering hall, pavilion, walking trails, expanded garden and agricultural spaces, an archery range for outdoor education programming, and additional retreat and programming infrastructure as the needs evolve.
These aren’t distant dreams. They’re funded milestones. If you’d like to put your name behind any of them, we’d like to talk.
The Gathering Hall
5,000 Square Feet of Possibility (Coming Soon)
The gathering hall will serve as the social heart of The Onyx. It redefines the modern barn through a lens of transparency and light. While the floor plan offers a generous canvas for any occasion, signature glass rollup doors keep the experience grounded in nature, perfect for:
Church retreats
Farmers markets, artisan showcases, and pop-ups
Workshops, classes, and off-site meetings
Family and community gatherings
Available for private rental , the gathering hall is designed to carry both intimacy and energy. Fifty people can fill it with warmth. One hundred can fill it with life. Either way, the space adapts, holds, and lets the moments become what they were meant to be.
