Finca El Encinarejo · Sierra de Andújar, Andalucía
True Spanish
mountain hunting
Owner-run hunts across Spain's finest mountain country — the four-ibex Grand Slam, the red stag in the rut, chamois, mouflon and more. Every licence and logistic handled, at one honest all-in price.
Spain is the only country on earth where all four ibex can be taken — each in its own sierra.
Why Encinarejo
We believe great hunts are built on honesty, not surprises.
Our pricing is clear and transparent from the outset, our service is thoughtful and refined without excess, and our hunting takes place across some of Spain's finest and most demanding ground. From first contact to final stalk, every detail is handled with care — so you can focus on the experience, the country, and the hunt itself.
Hunting in Spain
One country. A lifetime of mountain hunting.
From the four-ibex Grand Slam to red stag in the rut, high-alpine chamois, Mediterranean sheep, driven boar and a classic wing-shooting day — guided across the sierras by the people who run the finca.
The Ibex Grand Slam
Four subspecies, four sierras — the only place on earth to take all four.

Explore →The finca & lodge
A five-star lodge, inside the hunting ground.
At the heart of it all is Finca El Encinarejo: a five-star lodge set within its own 5,000-hectare sierra. Four warm rooms, a boma and pool, a 150-hectare lake, and a table that draws as much praise as the hunting. It is home to the finca hunts — and to the fire, the food and the quiet at the end of a long day in the mountains.

The team behind your hunt
You hunt with the people who run it.
Encinarejo is owner-run by Alex & Jess Hohne — not a broker, not an agency desk. Alongside them you hunt with a team of highly skilled professional hunters who know this ground intimately, guiding every stalk from the first glassing to the final approach. From the first enquiry to the last day in the field, you deal with the people who run it.

For us, the hunt is about more than the harvest.
Respect for the land and wildlife is fundamental to everything we do.

Beyond the hunt
The table, the fire, and the country itself.
A hunt here is more than the days in the field. It is Jess's welcome and Miriam's cooking, dinners in the boma under the stars, and the slow pleasures of Andalucía — its food, its light and its history. Bring a partner who doesn't hunt, and they'll never be short of a reason to come.
The experienceOnce in a lifetime trip! The lodge was very well appointed, the food was delicious, and the grounds were breathtaking! The hosts were amazing — thank you Jess and Alex! This wilderness preserve is truly special. 10 out of 10 in every way.
This property has to be one of the most beautiful places on earth. Views from the rooms and terrace are amazing… Great traditional Spanish food, giving you a real taste of the area… we stayed in the Lynx room which was fantastic.
Pure class from beginning to end… Out in the fresh air amongst unique and protected animals whilst being spoilt and waited on 24/7. I felt so recharged and blessed to have found a haven like this… to support such a great endeavour of conservation.
Since the moment we arrived, Alex, Jessica and all the staff were kind and welcoming. They take care of every single detail. The room was warm and comfy… All the meals were fresh, homemade and superb!
The best family weekend we have spent — thanks to Jessica and Alex for making us enjoy the Andújar mountain range and show us their farm… we will definitely return.
