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.
And there’s room for more.
“It’s got this extensive user permit, which allows for the addition of an 18-room lodge and a conference center and also eight more cabins, a gym or multipurpose building, a bathroom facility, another pool, and two spas,” Pollifrone continued.
For those not interested in maintaining its use as a nudist resort, Pollifrone suggests reimagining the space as a vineyard and winery or music venue-equipped lodge.
Although current members would love for the new buyer to keep it as it is, “there’s a very small chance of it, because [the asking price] is such a big number,” he explained, adding, “We are going to hit up a lot of these other nudist resorts, but I just I don’t think they’re going to have those kinds of funds.”
