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.

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 its 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.

Under a new owner, Lupin Lodge might return to its pre-1930s history as a vineyard, or be transformed into a high-end rehab center, a luxury RV park or a wedding venue, Pollifrone, the property’s realtor, said. At least one school in the Bay Area has explored purchasing the property as an additional campus or retreat space, he said.
