The staycation property of your dreams — right in your own backyard.

Why spend thousands on airfare and hotels to chase culture in LA, New York, Miami, or Colorado, when the most unique destination in the country sits twenty minutes from your front door? Welcome to Songa Studios St. Louis, housed in the storied Fleur-de-Lys mansion in historic Compton Heights.

The mansion is being offered through a fractional ownership model — similar to fractional jet ownership — where up to twelve families will share something money can’t usually buy: a seat on the event planning and creative committee building a cultural institution to rival the City Museum and put St. Louis back on the national cultural map.

The entire property is wired and linked in real time — wireless microphones, wireless cameras, full two-way audio and video across all three levels. It operates as a living television studio, but the music is never performed at an audience. It is improvised with the audience — some of the finest professional musicians in St. Louis, of every age, mingling with the people building this city’s cultural future.

We seek patrons of the artists, not patrons of the arts. Patrons of the arts put their names on the buildings. Patrons of the artists put the names in them.

True creators create for silence, not applause. Artists art for that feeling, that silence. Have you ever felt that silence — that wonder, awe, and grace, when artistic beauty quiets the room? We call that feeling Songa. When you invite true artists into your family’s life, pay them well and let go of creative control, they will make your life everything you hoped for — and nothing you could have dreamed.

We are lighting a fire to call our children and grandchildren home — from LA, Broadway, Nashville, Miami, Austin, Denver, and Boulder — to live and create here, alongside their families and friends.

Eight bedrooms, seven baths, gracious formal entertaining spaces, two full culinary kitchens, a two-room live studio with isolated drum booth and Whisper Room™ vocal booth, and a private garden oasis with patios, fountains, and a detached two-car garage.
