Outback Wrangler Matt Wright is offering to throw in a 4.5m saltie named ‘Spicy’ with the sale of his Darwin home.
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.”

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.
