Hey, check out Texas. Cheap property. Lots of big land. Lots of musicians. Recording equipment is tax free!!! No income tax. Zoning in the country is almost always "No Restrictions." Lot's of country just outside of big cities. Low crime rate due to the fact that you're allowed to shoot and kill intruders pretty much no questions asked. I'd think twice about robbing someone in Texas.

I moved here from California. It's been an interesting change. I'm just outside of Austin running a studio in my house basically just like you're describing and it's been pretty great. I paid $132K and have a nice big house with plenty of rooms for recording on 2 acres. My house also has tons of stone tile everywhere which makes for some nice reverb. But, with convolution reverbs at hand, most of my tracking takes place in the dead room. Either way, it's nice to have options.

Good luck!
