In the end, a successfully completed project is one that feels comfortable, not decorated.

Our Vision
Our focus is on building and renovating to the highest professional degree, and finishing with luxurious details to match the uniquely important stories of each home we take on. We want each Stahl home to inspire not only the homeowner, but also our employees and the local community at large.
Where We Work
Most Stahl projects originate in Nantucket and Rochester, the two places the Stahl family calls home. Our team is open to discussing projects in New England to Colorado and places in between.
Our Story
Chip Stahl is the Owner and President of Stahl Group, Inc., a Nantucket-based home building and design firm known for its meticulous approach, dedication to craftsmanship, and far-ranging capabilities. Chip has had a lifelong passion for design, and today, the company has completed projects across the New England area and beyond, as well as collaborated with fellow industry leaders such as interior designer Billy Cotton and landscape designer Matt Bromley.
The Stahl Group has the skill set and experience in developing projects from concept to completion, even extending to the cabinetry and millwork to provide the highest levels of quality, luxury, and service. The firm is further distinguished by its drive to facilitate preservation, often repurposing original materials on historic houses in ways that feel innovative yet timeless.
During the nearly twenty years Chip has lived on Nantucket, he has acquired an extensive understanding of the nuances of building on the island, including the architectural rules of the Historic District Commission. He welcomes the opportunity to work with local community leaders to uphold the foundation and culture of Stahl Group’s rare historic projects, including a recently developed residence located on Main Street. Chip’s work has been featured by Mansion Global, Modern Luxury, and Boston Herald, among other leading outlets, and he is a member of the Institute of Classical Architecture and Art.
Remembering Karli Stahl
Stahl Property Associates would not be where it is today without Karli, who passed away in 2022 from cancer.
Alongside her high school sweetheart and husband of 23 years, Chip Stahl, they beautified the design, construction, and décor of homes in their native Rochester, NY and for the last 12 years, Nantucket Island. Her keen eye for uniquely coastal design and thoughtful execution helped develop Stahl’s reputation as one of the finest for interior design in the United States.
Despite many impressive personal and professional achievements, Karli’s greatest pride was her daughters, Evelyn June Stahl and Georgia Grace Stahl. She loved them fiercely and taught by example how to live with an open heart, always remain humble, forgive readily and be present in the moment. For anyone who experienced the pleasure of her company, Karli’s humor, and positivity in the face of mortal adversity was an act of unrivaled courage to observe.
