The Belden Lodge was a magnificent 16,000 sq. contemporary estate home built in 1993 by
Henry S. (“Chic”) Belden, IV and his wife, Barbara. The Belden’s property consisted of the lodge
along with 205 acres. The Lodge was used as their family retreat until 2007 when they sold the
property to the city of Green. The city used federal funds to purchase the property and turned the
green space into Southgate Park and federally protected land. Southgate Park (205 acres) is
adjacent to Boettler Park (62.5 acres) for a total of 267.5 acres of park with strolling walking trails
throughout. The Lodge plus 10 acres were purchased by the Swaldo family on May 14, 2013 and
The Twisted Olive opened on November 3, 2014.
