It 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.
Big Long Lake is filled with Indiana residents on boats, jet skis and more.
Gerry is just walking distance to bar and restaurant Shady Nook Inn, where he is a frequent customer.
INSIDE GERRY'S LIFE
Gerry’s close friend Heather Lanning, who works at Shady Nook Inn, previously told The U.S. Sun: “He’s a regular here. He’s part of our family. He’s here quite a bit. He comes in on Saturdays with a group of family and close friends for lunch.
“Gerry always gets a salad. He’s not a regular drinker at the bar, more so stopping in and grabbing food, saying hi. We always have events going on here and he’s always present for those too.
“He’s become a very good friend of mine outside of being a customer.”
Heather continued of Gerry’s hobbies and interests, making the home a fitting choice: “He’s a lake person. Boating, jet skiing, all of it. He loves pickleball. He does do some traveling quite often.”
Another close friend of Gerry’s, who asked to remain anonymous, told The U.S. Sun: “He’s always on the lake enjoying himself and riding his jet ski. He’s also Vice President of the Lake Association.”
SECOND CHANCE AT LOVE
Gerry's wife Toni, with whom he shares two daughters, passed away in 2017.
The retired restaurateur explained the lakehouse was their dream.
He said in a preview clip: "We had 43 wonderful years together. We had two daughters, and I now have two granddaughters.
"We had a typical but beautiful life full of love, full of activity and as years went on, I retired. We had a plan and we had a plan of what our dream house was going to be.
"So when Toni retired at the end of May in 2017, we bought that dream house. Closed on it on June 6. From June 6 on, it didn't go according to plan at all. You know, she became ill and her situation got worse over a couple of weeks."
He then broke down in tears as he said: "So, we went to the emergency room and she had a bacterial infection that infected her kidneys and infected her liver. So I took my wife to the emergency room on July 7 and she passed away on July 15.
"Every time I look at that lake, I go, 'This is her dream. This is what she deserves. Why am I standing here alone?' It will be six years since she passed away. No one is ever going to replace Toni."
FUTURE WIFE?
ABC released the 22 women vying for Gerry’s heart, as they include former Bachelor Matt James’ mom Patty, 70, and Kris Jenner look-alike Susan, 66.
Gerry’s close hometown friends previously revealed to The U.S. Sun that they believe he’ll go all the way in fantasy suites.
Gerry’s close pal said of the overnight dates: “He’s not dead! He’ll do whatever he thinks is the right thing to do. It’s more of the emotional connection than it is physical. He doesn’t play games.”
As for Gerry’s dream woman, the friend said: “He’s open-minded. He’ll look into her eyes and see who he likes. He’ll know.”
Heather said he would like someone outgoing and family-oriented.
She told The U.S. Sun: “He needs somebody who would travel with him. He likes to travel. He does spend a lot of time with his daughters and grandkids so that’s important. Gerry is very family-oriented.
“And she’s got to love the water! I think he would move or have the woman move here. Either one, that’s going to be based on however that goes down. I don’t think he would be limited to moving.”
Heather added: “I hope there is maturity that goes along with this age bracket rather than what we typically see. But no matter the age, women can be catty.
