Inside Golden Bachelor Gerry Turners $637K lakeside dream home featuring four bedrooms and stunni
GOLDEN Bachelor Gerry Turner lives in a stunning $637K lakeside home in Indiana, The U.S. Sun can exclusively confirm.
Gerry, 71, was revealed as the first lead of The Bachelor spinoff, The Golden Bachelor, on July 17.
Now, The U.S. Sun can exclusively reveal details of his "dream house on a beautiful lake in Indiana," which was teased in his ABC bio.
According to property records obtained by The U.S. Sun, Gerry purchased his "dream home" in June 2020 for $375,000.
He had previously lived a short walk away in a similar home, which he sold at the same time for $415,000.
His current home - a four bedroom, three-and-a-half bath - is valued on Zillow to be worth $637,700, three years after the sale date.

The property record states that the lakeside home is over 2,000-square-feet and that there is a concrete patio, wood deck and open frame porch.
The best feature of the home is its views of the lake - where Gerry was seen filming his Good Morning America interview.
There is also a dock for boats that appears to be attached to his property. It is unclear whether Gerry owns a boat though.
The gorgeous home was built in 2007 and has a living room, finished basement and garage, per the property record.

Luckily for Gerry, there is a popular bar and restaurant next door that has local fresh food and overlooks the Big Long Lake.
UNEXPECTED BACHELOR
Bachelor Nation was shocked to learn The Golden Bachelor was so good-looking and appeared a lot younger than his actual age.
One fan commented: "ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!? I LOVE HIM ALREADY."
Another person wrote: "They found the youngest-looking 71-year-old stud on earth. Lots of laughs. But I’m still excited! "
Gerry - pronounced "Gary" - is a retired restaurateur and has an estimated net worth of $1.5million, according to Distractify.
Per his bio, he now spends his days "hosting barbecues, playing pickleball, cheering on his favorite Chicago sports teams, four-wheeling and spending time with friends and family at restaurants and local haunts."
Gerry told GMA he would "love" to find a partner with similar interests.
"I'd love it if I found a partner that was high energy. Someone that maybe plays pickleball, someone that maybe plays golf," he said.
'NOTHING TO LOSE'
The Indiana native, who previously lived in Davenport, Iowa, has two daughters, Angie and Jenny, and two granddaughters, Charlee and Payton.
When host Jesse Palmer surprised Gerry over Zoom by telling him he had been chosen as the first Golden Bachelor, the patriarch eagerly shouted: "Hell yes, I would!"
His daughters gathered around the computer screen and were just as excited for their father to embark on his journey to find love.
In fact, it was his daughters who urged him to sign up for the show because he had "nothing to lose."
Per the show's tagline: "It's never too late to fall in love... again."
TRAGIC PAST
Prior to being named the Golden Bachelor, Gerry was married to his high school sweetheart, Toni Turner, for 43 years.
In 2017, she unexpectedly got sick - six weeks after her retirement.
She passed away on July 15, 2017, according to her obituary.
"She got robbed. Every day that goes by, that's the thought that I have," Gerry tearfully shared in his GMA interview.
His late wife's picture remains on his dresser and he admitted to still seeking her approval to date others.
"We always told each other, when one of us goes, we want the other one to be happy," Gerry revealed.
