Ardmion Park Condo Guide
Ardmion Park is located within walking distance from downtown Asheville, which is also the Central Business District (CBD). This primo location enables its residents to enjoy a premier lifestyle that is hard to replicate. Being situated on the West face of Beaucatcher Mountain, Ardmion offers residents stunning views of the Western mountains as well as downtown Asheville’s rich architecture.
Originally a grand estate by the name the Sky Club, this historical building now houses four condominium units. Each unit comes with its own distinctive interior design and configuration. What’s more, Ardmion residents have access to a heated swimming pool within the property, assigned garage parking spaces, and several other luxury amenities including:
Ardmion Park only houses four condo units. Compared to most of the condominium complexes in downtown Asheville, Ardmion Park’s three stories place it among the smallest. The condos come in various sizes, interior styles, and configurations, allowing you to choose one that matches your unique taste. Ardmion’s mountainside location combines with its close proximity to vibrant downtown Asheville to create a truly unrivaled living experience.
Ardmion Park’s central location places it only a stone’s throw away from some of the most renowned bars, restaurants, and microbreweries in downtown Asheville. A few notable mentions include Chestnut, Limones Restaurant, and Pack’s Tavern. Close proximity to such amazing, local establishments allows Ardmion Park foodies to enjoy a wide range of drinking and dining choices.
Ardmion Park began life as the Old Heidelberg Supper Club. However, in the 1930s, anti-German sentiment compelled the owners to change the name to the Sky Club. Despite the name change, the Estate continued to be one of Asheville’s hottest entertainment spots. It became famous for its strip steak, shrimp cocktails, and celebrity guests such as Grace Kelly and Robert Mitchum. Over the decades, however, the Sky Club was sold and renovated multiple times before finally being converted into a high-end condominium building.
Ardmion Park’s interiors are airy with plenty of natural light. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame spectacular views of the lush greenery around the estate, the gorgeous Asheville skyline, and the Blue Ridge Mountain. Open floor plans combine with high ceilings to create spaces that are not only great for relaxing but also entertaining guests. From the ground floor, the surrounding trees and immaculate gardens work together to create the illusion of a “country getaway.” Its granite countertops and hardwood floors are just some of the dead giveaways that no expense was spared to make Ardmion one of Asheville’s deluxe condos.

In the Press
Great insights about the building, development, and history.
According to a Citizen-Times article, Ardmion Park (known as the Sky Club at the time) played a bigger role than merely providing accommodation to famous film actors. In 1957, the Sky Club featured in the legendary movie “Thunder Road.”
In his Mountain Xpress column, Jerry Sternberg recalled, “One scene in the movie was shot in the restaurant...” The handsome movie star, Robert Mitchum was also fond of dancing away most of his evenings with the ladies at the Sky Club.
