Description
Nestled amidst the picturesque landscape of Castilla La Mancha, El Casarejo spans 7,544 hectares and stands as a testament to timeless grandeur and natural beauty. Originally acquired in 1870 by the Marquis of Villabragima, it underwent significant transformation into a premier hunting estate under businessman Jose LLado’s stewardship starting in 1975. Since then, substantial investments in infrastructure, including buildings and fencing, alongside rigorous wildlife management practices, have cemented its reputation as one of Spain’s largest and most esteemed hunting grounds. Today, the LLado family continues to enhance the estate, ensuring each season yields high-quality trophies.
El Casarejo supports robust populations of game, with particular prominence given to wild boars and red stags, managed meticulously under a Technical Hunting Plan spanning from 2022 to 2027. The estate is enclosed by a 42-kilometer perimeter fence, offering both Monterias and stalking hunts. Over the years, Monterias have proven highly successful, with notable harvests including 5,815 red stags, 2,191 wild boars, and 22 roe deer. Stalking hunts have also resulted in the capture of 94 record book stags, 90 wild boars, and 20 roe deer. Additionally, the management plan involves the culling of 3,497 red stags, bulls, and hinds to maintain ecological balance.
El Casarejo proudly blends historical significance, natural splendor, and exceptional hunting opportunities, establishing itself as a premier destination in the heart of Spain.
