1 Windswept Island

A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own your very own private island on the sparkling waters of Winnipesaukee. Encompassing approximately 461 ft of shoreline, Windswept Island is a magical retreat where extraordinary natural beauty, privacy, and timeless lakefront living converge. Surrounded by sensational panoramic views and bathed in unforgettable western exposure, the sunsets here are nothing short of breathtaking—so immersive you'll feel as though you've stepped directly into the evening sky. The property offers an array of enchanting outdoor living spaces. Discover private sitting areas tucked throughout the landscape, gather around the lakeside fire pit beneath a canopy of stars, or entertain from the outdoor kitchen and dining area overlooking the sparkling waters. Whether you prefer gently wading into the lake from the sheltered shoreline or diving into deep, crystal-clear waters from the island's western shore, every day invites a new waterfront experience. The cottage, designed by Christopher P. Williams Architects, was built to maximize both comfort and function, feels as though it floats directly above the water. Sunlight pours through expansive windows, illuminating a warm interior where every detail has been carefully considered. Upstairs, a generous sleeping loft offers accommodations for family and guests, complete with a private deck perfectly positioned for morning coffee or evening stargazing. Powered by solar energy, the property offers the rare luxury of sustainable off-grid living without sacrificing comfort. Adventure awaits just offshore with nearby Ragged Island, where protected conservation land offers walking trails and beautiful beaches. Local legend says that Bob Montana, creator of the beloved Archie comic strip, found inspiration here and penned portions of his iconic work while staying on the island. Windswept Island is more than a property—it is a private world unto itself, every day feels wonderfully removed from the ordinary.
