hunting estate

Private sporting grounds

A hunting estate is a large tract of private land maintained for hunting game, typically featuring forests, fields, and sometimes lodges or manor houses.

These properties are often associated with aristocratic or wealthy ownership, where access is restricted and game populations are actively managed.

The duke invited guests to his hunting estate for the autumn pheasant season.
