Molesworth Station

Molesworth Station
Molesworth station includes high-country areas.

Molesworth Station is New Zealand's largest farm, at over 1,800 km²,[1] and supports the country's biggest herd of cattle. It also hosts government science programs, such as research into bovine tuberculosis and related research into possums.[2]

The land is owned by the Crown and is leased for farming. On 1 July 2005, administration of the land was handed to the New Zealand Department of Conservation.[1]

The HVDC Inter-Island transmission line travels trough the station.
