A tiny strip of land has hit the market for $69,000 leaving potential buyers and even the real estate agent confused.
The block on the outskirts of Coffs Harbour, on the New South Wales North Coast, measures just 2.6 metres wide by 50.3 metres long.
‘It is an unusual listing… I think the buyers are all confused. I am, I wouldn’t know what to use it for,’ real estate agent Mark Killian told Daily Mail Australia.

‘Unclear what you would use it for but everything or any block of land has a use and value to someone,’ the listing on realestate.com.au read.
The listing ad said the 144-square-metre Bonville Street property is ‘more accurately described as a laneway’.
The block is the same size as one 50 metre swimming lane, has no street number and is dwarfed by two large apartment complexes.
Mr Killian was confident the land would sell despite these unusual circumstances.
‘It’s like anything, it’s land, so everything has a value even if you can’t figure out what to use it for,’ he said.
The real estate agent said he had already fielded several inquires from a variety of potential buyers.
‘I’ve had a guy from England, living in Australia, who wanted to build what he called a “tiny house” on it.
‘I said “mate, it’s a laneway but that’s all it is,” it’s not like Melbourne or Sydney where you’ve got a laneway with a cafe,’ Mr Killian said.

The real estate agent said he had sold a number of similar properties that were purchased for storage.
‘The only thing I can think is it would be really good for a builder or tradie to store stuff,’ he explained.
Mr Killian added that he once sold a strip of land at Pillar Valley, in northern NSW, to a sports club that were looking for kayak storage.
Twitter users were shocked at the $69,000 asking price and suggested different ways to use the property.
‘Veggie patch?’ one woman tweeted.
‘If this was in Sydney it would sell for $4m and the owner would erect a tent on it,’ another user joked.
Others suggested installing a single lane lap pool, bowling alley or cricket net.
