Controversial Outback Wrangler star Matt Wright looks to have a buyer for his home in the Northern Territory.
Located 30km from Darwin, the three-hectare estate is now ‘under offer’ after it became the ‘hottest’ listing in Australia over the weekend.
According to Realestate.com, 51,000 viewers checked in to look over the chic four-bedroom, three-bathroom property, which hit the market without a price guide in February.
Situated in leafy surrounds, Wright was known to have kept aircraft on the property.
Neighbours nearby complained about noise from helicopters landing on the site, reported the NT News in August.
Wright fought a legal battle after complaints were lodged in 2021, which he subsequently lost.

The National Geographic star was later banned from using his home base as a ‘landing pad’.
The Wrights have reportedly splashed out on the 41-year-old home, making significant ‘architectural’ alterations in the last few years.
The makeover included installing a fresh irrigation system and new fencing, as well as new bathrooms.
Built in 1984, the stylish two-level home features glass walls, vaulted ceilings and a spacious open plan design.
Features include genuine brass door handles, bronze wall lights and Taj Mahal stone bench tops.
There’s also polished concrete floors, Italian Murano glass fittings, a timber deck and a self-contained ground floor unit.
Also included as part of the sale are architect-designed plans for an extension and an outdoor entertainment area and a pool.
Wright’s decision to put his home under the hammer comes as he enters a legal fight after he was found guilty of trying to pervert the course of justice over a deadly helicopter crash.

The reality star lost his best mate and co-star, Chris ‘Willow’ Wilson, in the February 2022 crash that left pilot Sebastian Robinson a paraplegic.
The crash occurred during a crocodile-egg collecting trip in Arnhem Land in the Northern Territory, with Mr Wilson slung on a line below the chopper to drop onto croc nests in remote swampland.
Wright was accused of lying to crash investigators about the amount of fuel in the machine, of trying to get Mr Robinson to falsify flying hours and of asking a friend to ‘torch’ the helicopter’s maintenance release.
The jury in the Supreme Court in Darwin last month found him guilty on the first two counts but could not reach a verdict on the third count regarding the ‘torch’ claim.
Prosecutors alleged Wright was worried investigators would learn his choppers’ flying-hour meters were regularly disconnected to extend flying hours beyond official thresholds, and paperwork was falsified to match.
Outside the court, Wright told reporters there were ‘no winners’ from the trial.
‘The ordeal has been incredibly tough on everyone, and it’s always been hard to understand why the focus of these investigations has been solely on me and not on the cause of the crash,’ he said.
But, after the verdicts, Wright came under a two-pronged attack from Mr Wilson’s widow Dani and Mr Robinson, the injured pilot.
Ms Wilson told reporters outside court Wright had attempted to pervert the course of justice and in doing so ‘denied a complete, thorough and unimpeded investigation into the crash’.
Her two sons would soon spend their fourth Father’s Day without their dad, she said.
‘Once again there will be an empty seat at the table, a constant reminder of all that has been taken from us,’ she said.
