Two former residences of tech entrepreneur Kim Dotcom are on the market, showcasing luxury property trends. A Georgian-style mansion in Mosgiel, designed by Mason & Wales, is listed for $3.1 million, while his former Wyuna estate home in Glenorchy is also for sale.

Dotcom's journey reflects the "trifecta" trend for wealthy buyers: owning homes in coastal, rural, and alpine locations like Coatesville and Queenstown. These exclusive areas attract strong interest from Active Investor Plus Visa (AIP) buyers.
