How far, is too far?

A few of you guys might know I was recently in Nashville, scouting for a new place to live, as well as looking for a place to set up shop.

Anything I found that was reasonably priced, was a bit out of town.

The places I'm interested in are located in or around,
Lebanon,
Hendersonville,
Hartsville,
Dixon,
Gallatin....etc.

Put in offers on a few, have yet to hear anything back...

But my question is, How far is acceptable?
As I'm not looking to do the 3 sessions per day (demo) thing. This would be more of a destination type joint.

Would musicians / artists travel a hour to come to a studio, or is it the Berry Hill neighborhood only or bust? 

I'm used to being in the country, as my place in Millbrook was 90 miles from Manhattan,
and I did very good there for many, many years.

Although what actually changed everything was when I built the house for musicians to stay...
Then things went thru the roof. And that was back in 87..

Sadly the new places Im looking at now in Tn. DO NOT have enough room for me to put musicians up...at least not initially.

So that said, I was wondering what everyones take is on this.
