Molesworth Station, High country cattle station in Marlborough District, New Zealand.
The Molesworth Station extends across 185,000 hectares between the Inland Kaikoura mountains and the Wairau River, featuring valleys and peaks reaching 1,554 meters.
The station merged three properties in 1949 when St Helens joined the previously combined Tarndale and Molesworth stations, which formerly supported 95,000 sheep.
The Māori name Rangitahi means converging skies, reflecting the region's importance for indigenous people who traveled through these lands for food collection.
The Department of Conservation manages public access between October and May, with guided tours available to explore different sections of the station.
The station maintains New Zealand's largest cattle herd, with Angus and Angus-Hereford crossbreeds grazing freely in summer and moving to valleys during winter.
