Nudist resort lists for $32.8M — sellers fear clothes-minded buyers

The naked beauty of this 112-acre property is plain to see. In Los Gatos, California, land that has long been occupied by a historic nudist retreat has hit the market.

Since 1935, the Lupin Lodge Naturist Club has offered a sprawling, tree-filled oasis for those looking to experience life in their birthday suits, Realtor.com first reported.

Now, though, its longtime proprietor Lori Stout, who has owned and operated the address since her husband died in 1978, is looking to pass it on to a new steward.

“It is a beloved haven for nudists in the Santa Cruz Mountains, and they have a really big following,” Joe Pollifrone of Christie’s International Real Estate Sereno-Willow Glen Office, who holds the listing, told the outlet. “It’s a beautiful site, and it’s serene and private.”

Listed as a 37-bedroom, 22-bathroom, 24,062-square-foot compound, the unique opportunity is up for $32.8 million.

Amenities include 19 cabins, 16 yurts, several camping and RV sites, as well as a wide variety of outdoor features, including tennis, pickleball and volleyball courts, “miles of hiking trails,” a pool with a viewing deck and various outdoor stages.

As well, there are two fire hydrants, a maintenance shop, a conference center, a vineyard and winery, a wellness center, equestrian facilities, a gym and a “tech campus.”
