Gerry lives in Indiana in his ideal house. It is located on Big Long Lake in LaGrange County, according to the IndyStar.
The house, which was featured during the show's official preview, has a gray-and-white facade with a nice balcony overlooking the ocean. During the preview, the retired restauranteur shared details about his life, including how he came to reside in the mansion.
When his wife Toni retired at the end of May 2017, they purchased their dream home and closed on June 6.

Who is 'The Golden Bachelor' Gerry Turner's family?
Gerry and his late wife had two kids, Angie and Jenny. Charlee and Payton are his granddaughters.
Gerry's daughters urged him to participate in the show and cheered him on when he was named the first Golden Bachelor.
"They started screaming, and everybody gathered round," he said of his daughter's response to the news on GMA.
Gerry received the wonderful news via video call from Bachelor presenter Jesse. Gerry's kids and grandchildren joined him on the phone, and Angie told Jesse, "One of those 25 ladies will be super lucky... they'll be like, 'Yes, I scored!'"
