(-23) PILOT WAS FLYING AT 3000' MSL WHEN HE EXPERIENCED A COMPLETE ENGINE FAILURE. AT THE TIME OF THE ENGINE FAILURE THE WINDS WERE 330 @ 23 KNOTS GUSTING TO 29 KNOTS. THE PILOT STARTED HIS EMERGENCY PROCEDURES, SPOTTED A PRIVATE STRIP AND PREPARED FOR AN EMERGENCY LANDING. WHILE MAKING THE DESCENT, THE PILOT DETERMINED HE WAS NOT GOING TO MAKE THE PRIVATE STRIP AND ATTEMPTED TO LAND ON A DRIVEWAY ADJACENT TO A HIGHWAY AT A HEADING OF 350 DEGREES. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO TOUCH DOWN, THE FORWARD LOWER FUSELAGE CAME IN CONTACT WITH CONCRETE PROPERTY SURVEY MARKER OBSCURED IN THE GRASS AND JUST LEFT OF THE DRIVEWAY.
