Kookaburra Views Retreat

Welcome to your ultimate High Country escape at 80 Highton Lane, Mansfield — a spacious and beautifully designed six-bedroom retreat perfect for families, friends, and multi-family getaways all year round. Set on over two acres with with views of the mountains including Mt Buller when you stroll the grounds, the home offers privacy, space, and comfort with the added convenience of being just five minutes from Mansfield’s vibrant town centre.

Inside, you’ll find an open-plan layout with beautiful Tasmanian oak floors, sunlit living spaces, and quality furnishings throughout. The main living zone is perfect for gathering, while a sliding door separates it from the bedroom wing to ensure quiet, restful nights.

The home is well-equipped for all seasons — enjoy the warmth of a wood heater in winter (please ensure central heating is off when in use), or relax with ducted heating and cooling throughout. There's plenty to keep everyone entertained with a convertible billiards/air hockey table, board games, books, and a 65” smart TV.

Outside, cook on the Weber gas BBQ, enjoy a glass of wine under the large covered patio, or stargaze around the fire pit under a crystal-clear sky. You may also see kangaroos grazing, king parrots flying by, or even a curious deer on the edge of the paddock. Night skies are often clear with bright stars and identifiable constellations with the naked eye (check out the free SkyView app for a guide). With plenty of room for kids to play and grownups to unwind, this is a place to make lasting memories.

Perfectly located for skiing and snowboarding at Mt Buller, fishing the Howqua or Delatite Rivers, or riding the Great Victorian Rail Trail, the home is a four-season base for outdoor adventure, food and wine touring, or just soaking in the serenity.
