If you want 'native' resonances then it is about 28m, the half-wave length for 60m. Impedance at the end is in the kΩ range. Many people suggest a transformer with a 6:1 to 8:1 turns ratio for a 50Ω coax feed. There's an interesting equal impedance point for all three bands at about 9.35m which could be a suitable feed point for your 3:1 transformer. If you want to transmit you still may need a tuner and you will always need either a good rf ground connection or a counterpoise. There is no single pole antenna system.
