A Silicon Valley nudist resort is on sale for $30m – but will its new owner ‘go textile’?

Members are in limbo as Lupin Lodge is on the market after nearly 90 years – with next buyer likely to require clothes

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.)
