On one side she was sort of warned as the first time I was nearly caught out and she isn't bothered and expects to see me nude in the summer. The ones on the other side I haven't told but I think they know (I think I have been seen at least once nude) and I don't think they will be bothered about it.
I think when you've done ample privacy screening, if the neighbor still gives you grief because they've gone to extra lengths to see you, it's on them and they are now infringing on your privacy. Our next door neighbors window on the side of their home looks over our side yard where I keep our bags of empty plastic bottles and aluminum cans, the trash bins and a large portable air compressor. I can't imagine what they would want to see there and if they continually look out there to see us taking the trash out and see us naked, they'd have a hard time explaining their reasons to the cops. Nonetheless, they've seen us and don't seem to care that much.
I have said in other posts, that there is a legal precedent recognized by many states, but not all, of "an expectation of Privacy". In California where Andy lives, this precept is not only recognized, but if someone violates your privacy when you have that expectation, they can be arrested for being a voyeur/Peeping Tom/Peeping Tomasina. If you go outside nude with no fence, you might be cited for indecent exposure (not in California since mere nudity does NOT constitute indecent exposure). But if you have an eight foot privacy fence, and your neighbor sees you because he got out his eight foot ladder to do so, then they are the guilty party.
I am in the process of closing on a house in Southern Ohio. When I saw the address I thought, "ah cool! I will be close to Cedar Trails Nudist Resort" in Peebles, Ohio. Well, getting on Google Earth, I saw that it is neighboring Cedar Trails, as in, I can literally walk nude from my property over a ridge to the resort, and not have to get dressed in the process. I even talked to the owner of Cedar Trails to confirm it. I am SO looking forward to taking those hikes over to Cedar Trails naked as the day I was born, to go onto their resort (as a member of course) to use the pool and hottub.
Unfortunately, I will need to install a privacy gate at the front of my property if I want to use the front of my own property nude as people driving by will be able to see me since I intend on being nude 24/7 to include mowing the lawn. But that's okay. :)

As always, it's good to know that I've gone above and beyond doing what I could, short of building a 15' block wall, to shield our nudity from the neighbors. I think it's one of the reasons they've never bitched about the four trees blocking their view of our backyard.
Don, good luck with your new place and enjoy the freedom! I'm very envious of your ability to just walk/hike naked to the club/resort!

Will you be living there most of the time?
If so. How often do you think you will need to wear anything?
If you are going to live there full time,you might be able to get rid of a lot of your clothes when you move and have less to pack and transport.
Our neighbors on both sides have been there since before we discovered the joy of living nude. My wife wants to keep this part of our life a secret so telling them is not an option.
The houses behind us are elevated so they can see over the fence. We do have some tree and bushes that give us a little space on patio that is private.
I do think one of the side neighbors saw me one morning. I was out early and ventured out of the safe zone and he or she was in their back yard working in their garden. I only heard a gasp before I dipped back into the house. I have talk to them both since and they have not mentioned seeing me.
Well, the whole reason I left Colorado was so that I could help an elderly parent and be closer to her. So no, I will not live there full time as I will still need to drive the 1 1/2 hour away to Cincinnati to help her with things. But I estimate staying there between 60-90 % of the time. I will only dress if I have to go into town, textile visitors are coming over, and until I build that front entry gate, when I am in the front yard near the detached garage.

When I bought my house there was nothing in the backyard to prevent the neighbors from seeing me nude. I started adding some privacy by planting a hedgerow, knowing that it was going to take years for it to mature and give me privacy. The house on one side sold and was used as rental property, with different neighbors every year or so. The house on the other side was bought by a nice couple without children, I got along great with them.
During the course of planting the hedgerow I encountered a neighbor, of the rental property, that made me rethink the hedgerow idea. I did not get along with her because of various reasons. It was then that I decided to build a privacy fence around my entire backyard. It took me a whole summer to do, but it was worth it.
After about a year of having privacy in my backyard, I was raking leaves in my front yard, clothed of course, I was talking to the neighbor that is my friend. As we are talking I noticed that he kept looking toward his house, I didn't think anything about it until he said "here comes trouble". His wife came over to where we were talking and the first thing she said was "I have seen you naked!"
Well I was a little stunned and shocked so I didn't say anything. After about an uncomfortable minute she turned around and went back to their house. I never did find out how or when or where she saw me naked, I just made a joke to my friend about not being able to make her unsee me naked. We had a good laugh about it and let it go at that.
Fast forward to the next summer, I finally decided to tell my neighbor friend that I am a nudist and I enjoy being nude in my backyard. He said that it did not matter to him, that it is my backyard and I should be able to use it any way that I want. He also told me that there were a few occasions that he came over to borrow a tool or something and saw me sunning my self nude. He said that he just went back to his house. I asked him why he didn't tell me that he was there and he said that it wasn't that important.
