Two of Kim Dotcom's former luxury homes are on the market: a Georgian-style mansion in Mosgiel and a property in Glenorchy's gated Wyuna estate.

This highlights the "trifecta" trend for high-net-worth individuals and Active Investor Plus Visa (AIP) buyers, who often purchase homes in beach, rural (like Coatesville), and alpine locations. While these properties are multi-million dollar listings, the article notes that more affordable entry points are also available in these desirable areas.
