KINGSTON, N.Y. — Tripp Hanson, a former
Broadway actor, had a rough year in 2007.
He and his longtime partner broke up, a
close friend died, and he was starting a
second career as an acupuncturist.
In the spring of 2008 Mr. Hanson visited
friends in Woodstock, N.Y. One of them
was a real estate agent. On a whim they
took a drive to look at houses. Mr. Hanson
didn’t think he was ready to buy anything,
but the idea of a simple place in a natural
setting felt “healing,” he said.
