One of California’s Last Nudist Parks Could Be Yours for $30M – RVBusiness – Breaking RV Industry News
After nearly 90 years as a historic nudist resort, California’s Lupin Lodge is up for sale – and its next owners are likely to require guests to wear clothes, according to The Guardian.
The 112-acre Silicon Valley property became a retreat for members of the “naturist” movement in 1935. Today, its hundreds of members enjoy the resort’s clothing-optional hiking trails, pickleball court and nude-only community pool. (Yes: the members really do hike naked.)
But the family-owned Los Gatos resort is now on sale for nearly $30m – and any buyers of the northern California property are likely to abandon its nudist roots.
Lupin’s likely transformation comes at a time when several California nudist destinations, from Olive Dell Ranch to DeAnza Springs, are “going textile”, as members of the community call it when a property that was once clothing-free returns to banning nudity.
