Estancia San Gregorio, Cultural heritage site in San Gregorio, Chile.

The industrial complex features brick, wood, and zinc structures including shearing sheds, warehouses, workers' housing, and service buildings along the International Road.

Jose Menendez established the estate in 1878, which became a major sheep farming operation covering 91,805 hectares with over 122,000 sheep by 1910.

The architectural design incorporates Australian and New Zealand elements, reflecting the international influences on Patagonian sheep farming settlements.

The estate operates only during summer shearing season and visitors can explore the buildings and two shipwrecks on the nearby beach.

The property included its own railway system and port for direct product transportation, with a 5.2-meter windbreak system, the tallest in the region.
