Creative Oasis Near Austin — Full Recording Studio + 2 Indoor Tour Bus Bays

Escape the ordinary and plug into inspiration at Prism Horse, a one-of-a-kind creative retreat just 40 minutes from downtown Austin and 15 minutes from Bastrop. Designed with musicians, artists, and touring professionals in mind, this 2-bedroom studio-residence hybrid is more than a place to crash — it’s a place to create, recharge, and reset.

Inside, you'll find a beautifully appointed, acoustically treated recording and mixing studio with top-tier gear, vocal booth, and natural light — perfect for pre-production, overdubs, writing camps, or post-show sessions. The main living space includes a Living Room, Control Room, tracking room with murphy bed, bedroom with a child-size day bed, and whisper room/iso booth for flexible comfort for small groups or artist teams.

What truly sets this spot apart? Two fully enclosed, indoor tour bus bays with secure access — a rare and essential amenity for artists traveling with gear, trailers, or sleeper coaches.

Professional recording studio on-site (engineer available on request)

2 private bedrooms + murphy bed in lounge + child bed nook
