Description

This exceptional 881-acre property, known as the McWilliams Gold Claim, presents a rare opportunity to own a piece of Alaskan gold rush history. Located near Talkeetna, Alaska, within 100 miles of Anchorage, yet nestled in the remote Talkeetna Mountains, this expansive land boasts approximately 7.5 miles of creek frontage along Chunilna Creek and John's Creek. The property comprises forty 20-acre parcels, plus an additional 80-acre parcel (US Survey 6070), encompassing roughly two square miles at elevations ranging from 1,000 to 2,300 feet. This pristine watershed, spanning approximately 1,000 square kilometers, offers breathtaking views of Denali and features multiple freshwater springs. The land is characterized by old-growth forest, abundant wildlife (moose, caribou, grizzly and black bear), and diverse flora including cottonwood, spruce, birch, and wildflowers. Access is available via bush planes from Anchorage or Talkeetna, and heavy equipment can be transported via a trail from the Alaska Railway. Of the 40 claims, 21 are considered virgin ground. Historical mining reports suggest significant gold reserves remain, with estimates ranging from $160 million to $600 million, based on past yields significantly exceeding Bureau of Land Management averages. This unique property offers not only potential gold mining opportunities but also unparalleled recreational possibilities, including hunting, fishing, hiking, and camping in a truly spectacular Alaskan wilderness setting. The asking price is $25,000,000.
