Two former homes of Kim Dotcom are for sale, showcasing a luxury property trend among high-net-worth individuals. A Georgian-style mansion in Mosgiel is listed for $3.1 million, while a home in Glenorchy's exclusive Wyuna estate is also on the market.

This journey reflects the "trifecta" sought by wealthy Active Investor Plus Visa (AIP) buyers—homes in beach, rural, and alpine locations. The Glenorchy property features schist stone construction and breathtaking views of Lake Wakatipu.
