Not every address requires a private key! https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/72700/transactions-without-signatures
This address represents a P2PKH, so the hash160(public key) = 759d6677091e973b9e9d99f19c68fbf43e3f05f9. I don't understand the math well enough to know if there is a public key that satisfies that equation, but if there is, then a private key exists as well.
