In the east central region of Alaska, a property in the Yukon—Charley Rivers National Preserve is hitting the market for $23.5 million.

The property, which is called Woodchopper Gold Claim, is being sold by Alaska resident and geologist Lynn Vogler. It sits along the Woodchopper Creek which flows into the Yukon River and has been the site of gold exploration for over 100 years, according to Mr. Vogler. Around 117,000 documented troy ounces of gold have been extracted along the creek, he said.
