The 1,000 acres of land that make up Tenuta San Carlo were once used not only for agriculture but also as hunting grounds. Now much of the land lies untouched in order to help preserve the wildlife of the regional park called l'Uccellina. The land within the park consists of fields, pine forests, and swampland. The land that continues to be cultivated is divided into 20 acre plots of cereal crops.

Wildlife is abundant at Tenuta San Carlo. Mostly wild boar, deer, miniature deer (called daini), and pheasants populate the open fields, but the diversity of wildlife only begins there. There are over fifty species of birds in the park as well as porcupines, foxes, hares, turtles, a wide range of insects, and many more creatures. Many of these animals can be seen during the day while taking a walk or a bike ride toward the beach. The best hours of the day in which to go looking for wildlife are either during the early morning hours or around dusk right before dinner. Most of these animals take refuge in the intense midday heat.
