A home going for $1.4 million just north of Leon Springs and the Dominion is a music-lover’s paradise that includes a state-of-the-art, fully equipped recording studio.
The four-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath home is the former headquarters of Mark Sinko’s Salmon Peak Studios, and the space has been optimized for professional recording in every way imaginable.
The acoustically designed studio was crafted by renowned acoustician Jack Piercy, with audio installation by RB Blackstone of Sound Madness.
“Built to exacting professional standards,” the 2,270-square-foot facility includes five isolation booths, soundproofing, a green-room lounge, a dedicated office, a half bath and ample storage. The amenities “make this a fully turnkey studio — ready for tracking, mixing and mastering,” the listing reads.
Audiophiles with a keen interest in equipment would do well to read the listing itself for specifics.
Albums recorded at the studio include Hot Love by the San Antonio band Buttercup, in addition to a number of other releases, according to online site discogs.
Presenting as a cathedral of sound with its wood panels and vaulted ceilings, the studio is just waiting for its next maestro mix-master.
But the studio isn’t the only stand-out feature when it comes to this property. Off the formal living room on the first floor, a large main deck offers outdoor entertaining with Hill Country views. In the modern kitchen, the ceiling’s intricate woodwork frames a show-stopping skylight.
Outside, the home is surrounded by nearly two wooded acres and a sparkling pool for getting some air between recording sessions.
Upstairs, the home has an elevated deck with yet more breathtaking Hill Country views — perfect for “late night jam sessions under Texas skies,” according to its listing.
After all, the music-making isn’t just for the studio when you live and breathe it. As the listing states, “this isn’t just a home, it’s a creative compound.”
