Two of Kim Dotcom's former luxury homes are currently for sale, offering a glimpse into the high-end property market. The listings include a Georgian-style mansion in Mosgiel and a stunning Wyuna estate home in Glenorchy.

This trend reflects the "trifecta" sought by wealthy buyers—homes for beach, rural, and alpine lifestyles. These exclusive properties often attract overseas Active Investor Plus Visa (AIP) buyers, continuing the demand for luxury real estate in prime locations like Coatesville and Queenstown-Lakes.
