Lupin Lodge, an historic naturist retreat nestled amidst the picturesque hills of Los Gatos, is now available for purchase, marking a unique opportunity for a new chapter in its rich 88-year history.
Spanning 112 scenic acres just south of the Lexington Reservoir off Highway 17, this distinctive property is strategically positioned in the heart of the Bay Area within Silicon Valley.
Established during the Great Depression on the grounds of a former winery shuttered during Prohibition, Lupin Lodge has overcome economic challenges, global conflicts, wildfires, and various adversities, standing resilient through the ages. Owned and operated by the Stout family for the past 47 years, it proudly holds the title of the oldest business in the Los Gatos Chamber of Commerce.
Current owner and operator, Lori Kay Stout, has chosen to pass on the legacy, inviting new custodians to take the reins of this historical gem. Sharing her vision for the property's future, Stout stated:
"I see this sale as an opportunity for a buyer to build on 88 years of history. This place is more than just a naturist club; it's a canvas for creating something truly remarkable."
Featuring majestic redwood trees and ancient oaks, the site serves as a natural sanctuary frequented by deer often seen drinking from a nearby creek. Its strategic placement within Silicon Valley positions it equidistant to the forefront of global technology firms. Furthermore, its convenient location between San Francisco and the Monterey Peninsula provides unrivaled access to major economic and cultural centers.
Lupin Lodge's prime locale makes it an ideal candidate for diverse development possibilities, including a retreat or conference center akin to Green Mountain Retreat (Los Gatos, CA) or Asilomar Hotel and Conference Grounds (Pacific Grove, CA). Other potential ventures encompass a winery with a lodge, a glamping-eco adventure resort reminiscent of Castanoa (Pescadero, California), a satellite campus for a college or hi-tech institution, a wellness retreat or center, and horse and equestrian facilities.
The range of potential uses for this unique property mirrors the diverse opportunities it presents, waiting for a visionary to transform it into something truly extraordinary.
