Two former homes of tech entrepreneur Kim Dotcom are on the market, highlighting a luxury property trend for wealthy buyers.

A Georgian-style mansion in Mosgiel, designed by Mason & Wales, is listed for $3.1 million. His former Glenorchy home in the exclusive Wyuna estate is also for sale. This reflects the "trifecta" trend where high-net-worth individuals, including Active Investor Plus Visa (AIP) buyers, acquire properties in beach, rural, and alpine locations for the complete New Zealand experience.
