lammermoor station - family legacy

Lammermoor Station is more than just land—it’s a way of life, shaped by three generations of the Elliot family. For over 90 years, the station has been a working high-country farm, known for its fine wool production, deep connection to the land, and unwavering commitment to conservation. From the early days of pioneering sheep farming to welcoming trophy hunters from around the world, the station has remained family-run and proudly New Zealand-owned—ensuring that every visitor experiences authentic Southern hospitality.

15,000 acres of free-range wilderness. 2,000 hectares of premier high-fence hunting. Generations of history. Welcome to Lammermoor Station, where the spirit of the high country runs deep, and the hunting experience is as untamed as the land itself.

A High Country Wilderness Like No Other

Spanning over 15,000 hectares of rugged free-range terrain and 2,000 hectares of carefully managed high-fence hunting, Lammermoor Station offers an unparalleled hunting experience in the heart of New Zealand’s South Island. Here, vast golden tussock lands roll into hidden valleys, rocky outcrops provide the perfect vantage points, and crystal-clear streams carve through the landscape—all setting the stage for a truly unforgettable hunt.

Sportsman's Paradise

Bordering the renowned Taieri River, Lammermoor Station also offers world-class brown trout fishing, making it one of the few places where you can chase a trophy stag in the morning and cast for a wild trout in the afternoon.

Lammermoor distilery

Lammermoor Station isn’t just known for its breathtaking landscapes and world-class hunting—it’s also home to the renowned Lammermoor Distillery. Built on generations of farming tradition, the distillery crafts premium whisky and gin using pure high-country water and barley grown right on the station.
