For a quick and dirty simple solution you could probably fit a 20 meter sloping inverted-V. Run coax feedline up the center of the rear of the house, as high as possible, to the center of a dipole cut for 20 Meters. From there run the ends to a pole on each corner of the lot. The formula: SQRT((10*10) + (12.5*12.5)) yields 12.89 feet which is only a few inches off from a 20 meter quarter wave (13.12 feet). The slope should easily eat that up. That will get you on the air quickly in an afternoon while you work on better solutions that have been suggested.
