Get your pickax ready: Alaska\u2019s most expensive listing definitely has the potential to strike gold.<\/p>\n

In fact, the 1,418-acre offering is a\u00a0gold mine<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a pretty unique opportunity in an amazing area,\u201d says listing agent Yvan Corbin<\/strong>, with Real Broker Alaska.<\/p>\n

The property is going for $23.5 million.<\/p>\n

The listing within a national preserve includes 15 claims that are patented and 37 unpatented.<\/p>\n

Corbin explains a patented claim means the owner owns the land. But the buyer doesn\u2019t own the land in the unpatented claims (1,188 acres), but has the rights to extract.<\/p>\n

Extracting could mean gold.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was mined, but hasn\u2019t been mined in a very long time,\u201d he says. There has been a \u201cstudy on it and figured there is at least $60 million, give or take, of gold in there.\u201d<\/p>\n

Along with the high price tag, there are other challenges for gold seekers. For one, the area is hard to access. It is, after all, located in a place called \u201cRemote.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s in the Yukon-Charley Rivers National Preserve off the Yukon River,\u201d he says. It\u2019s about a 75-minute flight from the Fairbanks<\/a>\u00a0area, the closest city. \u201cLogistically, it\u2019s not an easy place.\u201d<\/p>\n

The property includes a 2,500-foot-long gravel airstrip for the adventurous. But once you get there, where do you lodge?<\/p>\n

Corbin says he plans to go see the locale in June, but doesn\u2019t think there are any viable structures on the property.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen the owner did mine it, there were a few cabins there, but I have no idea what the condition of those are,\u201d he says. \u201cBut I\u2019m sure they\u2019re not great because no one has been there in years.\u201d<\/p>\n

Corbin says there are many possibilities for the property.<\/p>\n

\u201cGold is such a unique mineral and gold fever is real, and I think someone that wants to buy this could hit the jackpot and find more than what is thought to be there,\u201d he adds. The search for gold itself has the makings of a \u201cready-made TV show.\u201d<\/p>\n

Corbin can imagine the drama unfolding with cameras rolling.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe logistics to set this up and use barges and helicopters to bring machines and everything in, it would be pretty amazing,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n
