Today is April 20, aka 4/20, and you know what that means, right? No? Well, here’s a quick counterculture lesson—or a reminder for those whose memories might have grown a bit hazy over the years. Long used as code for cannabis consumption, 4/20 started as shorthand for a group of friends who would regularly meet at 4:20 p.m. to get high. The code now represents an unofficial global holiday for those who partake.
And now that eight states have legalized recreational marijuana in some form—28 have legalized its medical use—4/20 is taking on a new stature. It’s even spilling into the world of real estate!
Homeowners over the age of 21 in states such as California, Colorado, Alaska, and Maine can now legally grow up to six plants on their property. Plus, depending on municipality laws, some areas even allow homeowners with the proper permits and licenses to cultivate much more cannabis to sell to dispensaries and delivery services. (Check state and local laws before you start planting, of course.)
Given the rising tide of legal pot, some real estate listings even tout their 4/20-friendly vibes. Some do so subtly by saying they’ve got certain “cultivation permits,” like from the California State Water Board. Others come right out and state their cannabis-growing cred. Sites like 420property.com have popped up where people can buy, sell, or find financing for such places.
Are you curious what these abodes are like? If you’re envisioning smoky drug dens, it’s time to change your reality. Here’s some of the latest crop.

402 Enterprise St, Hayden, COPrice: $895,000
This “barndominium” features an open floor plan, including two large workshops on the bottom floor. There’s also plenty of space for parking and material storage. The sellers tout the potential for “marijuana cultivation” (the town of Hayden approved commercial marijuana cultivation in 2015), so if you believe farming is your future, locking down this property plus the appropriate licenses would be a great place to start.
