It's "only" 2 furlongs long, so you only need around a 4 square furlong property before you can easily fit it.
In a semi-rural location, where you have roads that were last built out when everything was still fields, it's not uncommon to have lots divided for houses that are long, but not wide. Spending a few minutes looking at the parcels near me, I found one that was 390m long and 50m wide -- slightly too small, but not by that much, not not even a particularly large lot as these things go.
