Two former residences of tech entrepreneur Kim Dotcom are on the market, highlighting a luxury property trend. A Georgian-style mansion in Mosgiel, designed by Mason & Wales, is listed for $3.1 million.

Additionally, a spectacular home in Glenorchy's exclusive Wyuna estate is also for sale. This journey reflects the "trifecta" trend, where wealthy buyers acquire homes in coastal, rural, and alpine locations like Coatesville and Queenstown-Lakes, often attracting Active Investor Plus (AIP) visa holders.
