I am starting to get the feeling that this is a 100’ 45G or something like that. In that case a wooden pole may work. But you would still want a down guy on the pole.
It would not take up that much room but it really is needed. Lewis has far more experience with tower erection than I do. I beam embedded in concrete is something that can be calculated to work. The guy force can be known. The I beam yield strength is very well characterized. Overturning moment of something buried is also something that can be calculated without too much effort. A structural engineer would do this for a few hundred bucks.

It had strong compressive resistance but it is laterally weak. If you put much force on it if will bend. I beam is the only way to go. You still haven't mentioned how tall or the face size of this tower.
