Roosting in a Cozy Chicken

Coop (but Eggs Come From the

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.
