Buy the Outback Wrangler's house – get a pet croc
Though not a first in the Top End, the snappy inclusion doesn't pop up often in the Territory market.
In an Instagram reel posted Friday morning Wright made the offer to include the saltwater croc, who already has his own pen on Virginia property.
'If you really, really want the place, I'll even leave ya with Spicy,' he said.
'If you really want the place, you get him with it.'
Own your own fairway minutes from prime fishing for under $700k
During the online video, Wright gave a tour of the 'cracking place' with commentary.
He proudly showed off his crazy pave driveway – twice.
'Look at those amazing crazy paves – heart, sweat and tears went into that,' he said.
And revealed a view of the croc pen from his upstairs balcony.
'That's where the big dog hangs out, down there,' he said.
Wright invited his followers to an open home on Sunday – though not everyone would be welcome.
'There is a home invasion this weekend,' he said
'You're welcome to come on the Sunday.
'One condition – no media or tyre kickers.
'We don't want them kicking around.'
The property at 124 Virginia Rd, Virginia, is for sale with a price guide of $1.39m through Ryan Rowsell and Andrew Harding of Ray White Darwin.
An open house is scheduled for Sunday, August 3, from 10-11am.
Wright and his wife, Kaia, bought the block nine years ago and transformed the house from a typical Darwin elevated into a minimalist masterpiece.
Mrs Wright said the home now felt like a modern treehouse with walls of glass and sleek open spaces.
'You feel like you're up in the mahogany trees,' she said.
'It's so light and uplifting.'
Mrs Wright said she was inspired by brutalist architecture and raw materials and wanted to create a no fuss home of concrete, timber, glass and natural textures.
'We had to work with what we had, which was an old Darwin elevated home,' she said.
'So I wanted to get rid of the louvres and simplify the house.'
The home has four bedrooms, three bathrooms, a self-contained unit downstairs and high-end finishes and fixtures including Taj Mahal stone and quartzite benchtops, venetian plaster and Murano glass.

New York mansion hits market with awkward photos
A lavish resort-style New York mansion is attracting attention after hitting the market – but for all the wrong reasons. With 12 bedrooms and 10 bathrooms, the Sullivan County residence is worthy of a gander whether you're interested in buying or not. You could be forgiven for quickly getting distracted by the poorly photoshopped images in several of the listing photos though. MORE: Update on ghostly Sydney mall left empty for years Reddit users were quick to comment on the awkwardly-placed images, which include bikini-clad women by the pool, over-posed couples on the deck and in the foyer, and a helicopter hovering over the property towards a bright red and blue helipad. 'It looks more like someone gave a kid some magazines and pair of scissors,' one said. 'That's so bad. I've seen middle school yearbook staffers do better,' another wrote. 'I love that the couple in the foyer seem to be floating. I guess it's because they have so much money?' one joked. Some were shocked by the images, with one saying they'd be 'cranky if I owned a $10 million house and this was how it was marketed', but many others saw the humour in it. 'I 100 per cent thought the poster was being funny and photoshopped it,' one person said. 'It's kind of genius in a forced virality kind of way. I wouldn't have seen the beautiful house if not for the silliness,' said another.

'It actually worked because I scrolled his listings so maybe it's smart marketing,' they said. Photos aside, the 1999-built mansion is impressive, with grand interiors and an enviable outdoor entertainment area. The property spans more than 12ha and also includes a four-bedroom guesthouse and a caretakers apartment over the barn. It is listed with a $9,999,999 price guide.
