Two former residences of tech entrepreneur Kim Dotcom are on the market, showcasing a luxury property trend among the wealthy.

The properties include a Georgian-style mansion in Mosgiel, designed by Mason & Wales, asking $3.1 million, and a Glenorchy home in the exclusive Wyuna estate.

This follows a "trifecta" pattern where affluent buyers, including those with Active Investor Plus Visas, acquire properties in coastal, rural, and alpine locations for a complete New Zealand experience.
