B58 Baron TODR & LDR

A friend of mine has just bought acerage and wants to base a Baron on his own patch of turf. Its flat with no obstructions and he plans to lay a strip of asphalt down the centre. The advertising material say the ground roll for TO is around 750m and landing groundroll about 350m.

How much strip length would be adequate for the average competent PPL holder for a Baron. I'm not talking about distsnce of the usual 50'ft obastacles, just the length of the blacktop that would be advieable to lay down. Obviously the shorter the better, ie less cost. For simplicity sake seal level elevation and ISA conditions.
