Two former residences of tech entrepreneur Kim Dotcom are for sale, highlighting a luxury property trend among wealthy international 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, purchased for $15.1 million in 2021, is also on the market. This reflects a "trifecta" pattern where buyers acquire properties in coastal, rural (Coatesville), and alpine (Queenstown-Lakes) locations for a complete New Zealand experience.
