Living Waters Spa for sale

Im not in the area and wouldnt be able to pull it off but for those of you that would like to own a nudist resort, I received an email today from Luving Waters Spa in Desert Hot Springs (near Palm Springs, CA) that confirmed the resort is for sale. Asking $1M. Ive stayed there and very much enjoyed it. Id hate to see it turn textile.

I used to live in the Palm Springs area and loved the old Terra Cotta Inn. I had heard about Living Waters and have wanted to visit. Looks like a nice place from the pictures and it is not so close to all the hustle of Palm Springs. I hope the sale, if it happens, goes to a nudist friendly buyer.

Making a go of it as a nude resort is getting tougher and tougher to do.
The demographics are getting older and older and the 20s and up are not into just the nude thing.
Have you actually been to a nude resort recently?
The age group present at them, is like visiting a retirement home for sun lovers.
It makes us laugh when we see a volleyball net at a nude resort.
Every nude resort in Palm Spring is up for sale, either openly on the market as Dying Waters is or as Desert Sun is for sale from mouth to mouth.
The old Terra Cotta sold to textiles which was to bad.
We live in New York but we hear of everything that is for sale out that way.
It seems as if all the owners are wanting to get out of the nude resort business when they can.
Desert Sun was on the open market for the longest time in Palm Springs with an asking price of $10,000,000 with no takers.
Dusty Waters selling for only a $1,000,000 sounds like a screaming deal but it is actually kind of a dump and needing lots of work.
The owners see what we all see and that is nothing but old people.
Nudist resorts will all be gone in the next 20 years or less, along with the older people that presently support the nude resorts.
The nude resorts in Palm Springs will either sell to the Gays in Palm Springs, as there are lots of Gay nude resorts that cater to a much younger crowd, or they will sell and become a Swingers resort, or they will go Textile.
The nude resort fad, is long gone as far as a business goes.
Look around a nude resort and everyone is 60 years of age and up.
Young people do not want to be around much older people, when being nude.
We don't even want to look at the older people that are nude at the resorts.
Yuk!
Nude resorts definitely have an expired shelf life.

The Terra Cotta Inn is back, now called The Terra Cotta. Not sure if it is in the same location as before, but you can go to their new webpage to see their address. No longer the same owners, but the old owners (Tom and Mary Claire) are working with and acting as mentors to the new owners.

According to your profile you're just a few years away from getting AARP mailings. You're going to be one of us "older people" before you know it.
Try not to be so full of yourselves.
Yuk!

Could it be though that since Palm Springs is well known as a place to retire in that the resorts there have a higher average ag? Also, you are writing as though there is a finite set of guests going which is not correct. Being a retirement destination there will be newly retired people coming in replacing those that have passed away. The average age still might be higher that in other areas but that does not necessarily mean the crowds are getting smaller and older.
