For the first time in 28 years, Treasure Isle Studio is available for purchase.

Built in 1941, 4,885 SF on .22 acres in booming Berry Hill. 15-20 parking spaces depending on how you want to stripe the lot.

Treasure Isle Studio – also known as Treasure Isle Recorders – officially opened its doors in 1982 and earned recognition as Nashville’s very first all‑digital recording studio, drawing in legendary artists of the era.

It was one of the first recording studios in Berry Hill, helping shape what’s often regarded as “Music Row B”.

It’s touted as one of Music City’s largest and oldest recording facilities, marking over 40 years of established presence in Nashville’s music industry.

The studio has served an iconic and diverse client roster, ranging from contemporary country stars like Jason Aldean and Thomas Rhett, to timeless icons such as Johnny Cash and Dolly Parton.

The Layout

As you enter you’re given the choice of two different wings of the building, Studio A or Studio B.

Studio A

Studio A was purpose-built to be a recording studio (as opposed to just converting an existing building into a studio). The walls are angled for acoustics purposes and the 26′ high walls contribute to its legendary “Live Sound”. Also, it’s one of few studios with an Echo Chamber.

Studio A offers a large artist lounge with kitchen and fireplace, massive Live Room, impressive control room, 4 iso rooms, two restrooms (one with shower) and many storage spaces.

As Nashville’s first all‑digital studio, Treasure Isle was a pioneer in modern recording techniques during the early 1980s – a forward-looking shift in an industry still rooted in analog.

Studio B

The smaller Studio B offers a Live Room, Control Room, kitchen, bathroom plus multiple office and storage spaces.

Next Door: Blackbird Studio

Co-locate next to the most impressive music studio in the country!

At 2806 Azalea, Blackbird Studio stands as a pinnacle of recording excellence, boasting nine state-of-the-art studios across a city-block-sized complex in the vibrant Berry Hill neighborhood, equipped with one of the largest collections of vintage and modern gear in the world. Founded in 2002 by legendary sound engineer John McBride and country star Martina McBride, it has hosted an elite roster of artists including Taylor Swift, Dolly Parton, Keith Urban, Pearl Jam, Snoop Dogg, Neil Young, Rush, Sheryl Crow, and countless others, producing albums that have garnered Grammys and defined genres from country to rock.

Its innovative facilities, like the immersive 9.1.6 Dolby Atmos Studio C designed by George Massenburg, combined with ancillary ventures such as The Blackbird Academy for audio education and Blackbird Audio Rentals, cement its status as a self-sustaining powerhouse that draws top talent globally and elevates Nashville’s music ecosystem.

Owning a music studio next door to Blackbird represents a savvy business move due to the halo effect of its prestige and foot traffic, where producers, engineers, and artists scouting premium spaces would naturally consider adjacent options for overflow sessions, smaller projects, or specialized needs like quick demos.

Proximity in Nashville’s tight-knit “Music Hill” cluster fosters collaborations, shared clientele, and referral networks—Blackbird’s high-profile bookings often spill over, boosting occupancy rates and allowing a neighboring studio to command premium pricing without massive marketing spends. Additionally, the area’s surging demand for recording infrastructure, as highlighted in Nashville’s music industry studies, positions such a property for strong appreciation, diversified revenue from rentals or education tie-ins, and resilience in a competitive market fueled by constant hit-making activity.

Why Treasure Isle Matters

  - Large, well-equipped spaces with classic analog–to–digital flexibility
  - Hosted legends and contemporary stars alike—spanning genres and eras
  - Cultural influence, deeply invested in Nashville’s studio history

Heart of Berry Hill’s Music Community

Treasure Isle Studio is nestled in Berry Hill—a vibrant enclave that serves as a creative extension of Nashville’s famed Music Row. This proximity places the studio in a dynamic network of music professionals, studios, and creative collaborators.

Proximity to Music Row Without the Congestion

Crucially, Berry Hill offers easy access to all the industry infrastructure of downtown Nashville—record labels, agents, and fellow studios—without being bogged down by congested traffic. The location also provides quick access to major routes, the Nashville International Airport, and commuter rail lines for regional artists.

Privacy and Creative Focus

Berry Hill’s more intimate, mixed-use setting—combining offices and creative spaces—affords better privacy and acoustical isolation than the busier Music Row. Studios here can cultivate a quiet, distraction-free environment that enhances focus during recording sessions.

The area offers nearby amenities like restaurants, shops, and essential services to support clients and session musicians—yet retains a creative ambience conducive to focused work.

Musical Ecosystem and Inspiration

2808 Azalea sits among other notable studios. That clustering cultivates a creative ecosystem, facilitating networking, collaboration, and a constant influx of musical energy and talent.

In short, 2808 Azalea balances creative privacy and professional prestige, allied with convenient access to Nashville’s vibrant music industry. Its heritage, setting, and structure make it more than a location—it’s a destination designed for sound, inspiration, and legacy.
