It is surrounded by the majestic Two Thumbs mountain range of the Southern Alps and the huge braided Rangitata River. The surrounding area provided the backdrop to many scenes from the Lord of the Rings. What is Mesopotamia Station?Mesopotamia Station is a family-run and traditionally farmed, working sheep, deer and cattle farm, now diversifying into various tourism ventures, including hunting for Thar, Deer and Chamois. It is located in the high-country at the headwaters of the Rangitata gorge at about 457 metres (1800 ft) above sea level rising to 2660 metres (7500 ft). Its size is just over 72, 000 acres and currently has 11,000 merino sheep, 2,200 deer and 500 cattle.It is a small unspoiled piece of South Island paradise which we would like to share with others. |
