Outback Wrangler’s four-bedroom home under offer after it lands on ‘hottest’ property list

by

Matt Wright, known for his role on the reality show Outback Wrangler, reportedly has a deal in the works to sell his house in the Northern Territory.

Just 30 kilometers from Darwin, a three-hectare property is now under contract, becoming the most popular listing in Australia over the weekend.

Realestate.com reports that over 51,000 people viewed the stylish four-bedroom, three-bathroom home when it was first listed for sale in February, with no asking price initially published.

Situated in leafy surrounds, Wright was known to have kept aircraft on the property. 

According to the NT News, residents living nearby complained about the noise created by helicopters landing at the location 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 Wright family recently purchased the 41-year-old house and has made considerable changes to its design over the past few years.

The renovations included a new irrigation system, updated fencing, and remodeled bathrooms.

This chic, two-story home was built in 1984 and boasts glass walls, high vaulted ceilings, and a roomy, open layout.

Features include genuine brass door handles, bronze wall lights and Taj Mahal stone bench tops.

The home features sleek polished concrete floors, elegant Italian Murano glass fixtures, a wooden deck, and a separate, self-contained apartment on the ground floor.

The sale also includes professionally designed plans for adding an extension, an outdoor entertainment space, and a pool.

Following his conviction for attempting to obstruct justice in connection with a fatal helicopter crash, Wright has decided to sell his house.

The reality TV personality was deeply affected by the death of his close friend and colleague, Chris ‘Willow’ Wilson, who died in a February 2022 accident. The pilot, Sebastian Robinson, was left paralyzed as a result of the crash.

Oh my gosh, you will NOT believe this! Apparently, poor Mr. Wilson was dangling *under* a helicopter in Arnhem Land – can you even imagine?! They were trying to get to crocodile nests way out in the swamp, and he was being lowered down on a rope to check for eggs. It’s just… incredible and terrifying all at once! I’ve been following his work for years, and this is peak adventure, even if it did end in a crash. I’m just so worried about him!

Wright faced accusations of dishonesty regarding the helicopter’s fuel level reported to investigators. He was also accused of attempting to get another pilot to falsely inflate his flight hours and of asking a friend to destroy the helicopter’s maintenance records.

Last month, a Darwin Supreme Court jury found the defendant guilty on the first two charges, but they were unable to agree on a verdict for the third charge related to the ‘torch’ allegation.

Prosecutors claimed Wright feared investigators would discover he’d been tampering with the flight-hour meters on his helicopters. He allegedly disconnected them to make it appear he was flying more hours than regulations allowed, and then falsified records to support this.

Outside the court, Wright told reporters there were ‘no winners’ from the trial.

This has been a very difficult time for everyone involved, and I’ve always struggled to understand why the investigations have focused only on me, rather than what actually caused the crash, he explained.

Following the verdicts, both the widow of Mr. Wilson, Dani, and the injured pilot, Mr. Robinson, publicly criticized Wright.

Outside the court, Ms. Wilson explained to reporters that Wright tried to obstruct justice, preventing investigators from fully and impartially examining the circumstances of the crash.

Her two sons would soon spend their fourth Father’s Day without their dad, she said.

She said, “Another empty chair will be a painful reminder of everything we’ve lost.”
