I had this same error when trying to modify the file growth properties of the log file of a production database. I tried using SSMS and had the same error:
Property size is not available for XXX database.
I used T-SQL to modify the database log file instead.
USE [master]
GO
ALTER DATABASE [MyDatabase] MODIFY FILE ( NAME = N'MyDatabase_log', FILEGROWTH = 524288KB )
GO
After the command completed I was able to open the database properties in SSMS. I hope this works for others.
