Looking for property in Deadhorse, Alaska?

If you’re looking for property near Deadhorse on Alaska’s North Slope, the State of Alaska has a deal for you. The last three unleased tracts that it owns will soon be auctioned to the highest bidder.

The Alaska Department of Natural Resources’ Division of Mining Land and Water is holding a public outcry auction at 10 a.m. on Dec. 16 for the tracts at 3700 Airport Way in Fairbanks. Bidders must be registered by 9:30 a.m.

The minimum bids for the tracts aren’t cheap.

Tract 14, which is 10.96 acres, requires a minimum annual rent bid of $142,400. The minimum for Tract 15, consisting of 9.75 acres, is $123,700. Tract 16, which is 11.77 acres with only 8.24 usable, is $98,100.

According to DNR, the tracts have road frontage and are “partially improved with gravel.”

To obtain an auction brochure, contact DNR’s Northern Region-Land Section at 907 451-2740 in Fairbanks.

At end of the road

At the end of Alaska’s Dalton Highway, or “Haul Road,” on the edge of the Arctic Ocean, Deadhorse is an unincorporated community that was established to support oil development in the giant Prudhoe Bay oil field.

The community consists mainly of facilities for companies providing supplies and services for Prudhoe, other nearby oil fields and the trans-Alaska oil pipeline which transports oil 800 miles from Prudhoe to Valdez on the Southcentral Alaska coast.

Some tourist accommodations are also available in Deadhorse.

There are approximately 26 permanent residents in the Deadhorse-Prudhoe area.

Facilities in the community are built on manmade gravel pads and usually consist of prefabricated modules shipped north via barge or air cargo.
