Minimum wire length

My backyard is limited in length. The lot is 86 feet long. My question is,
how long a wire should I use to have a good shortwave antenna that will fit
in my yard. I know optimum is around 100 feet but I can't accommodate that
length. If it passes over the house does it matter how much space there is
between the wire and the roof of the house?
