Highfield is historically significant for its association with the Van Diemen's Land Company, which was responsible for the settlement of Northwest Tasmania. Highfield was the original headquarters of the Company's operations. The buildings surviving there today were built between 1828 and the early 1840s.
At present some of the Highfield buildings are being restored. The house is open for inspection and visitors can inspect the restoration works on site during daylight hours.
