About This Home
As of August 2016How would you like to own a piece of Lake Winnipesaukee history along with your own private island. This very special property was once owned by Bob Montana who created and wrote the "Archie" comics. Bob was an icon on Lake Winnipesaukee but Windswept Island was his own private getaway for just him and his family. It was said that many of his comic strips were created here in the one room cedar cottage with the massive stone fireplace. Surrounded by crystal clear water, the island looks to the South overlooking the whole "broads" and the Belknap Mountain Range. You can enjoy the Sunrise and the Sunset without moving your chair. Spend a day and a night here. You'll never want to leave.
