Los Barcinos

Estancia Los Barcinos, with 8 bedrooms and 8 baths is offering world-class gunning just 60 miles south of Buenos Aires, is situated in the Salado River Basin near the historic town of San Miguel del Monte, home to numerous educational institutions, including the National University of General Sarmiento. The area is also known for its many polo ranches and country estates—and for being home to abundant game birds. Estancia Los Barcinos is a newly refurbished headquarters estate of a 2000 acre working cattle ranch and farm. The main lodge had five private bedrooms with baths plus outbuildings with three bedrooms and baths.

Just 80 miles from the Atlantic Ocean, the fertile lands of this vast river basin with its many potholes, river channels, and canals are the winter home to millions of ducks and is some of the most fertile land in Argentina producing corn, soybeans and other cereal crops. Duck varieties include speckled teal, silver teal, cinnamon teal, ring teal, Brazilian teal, brown pintail, white cheek pintail, and rosy-billed pochard. Hunters can expect eight boxes of shells per day on ducks. Virtually all shooting areas are within 30 minutes of the estancia.
