Thats pretty much an impossible question, sooo many variables, If you have flat ground with a slight draw and good clay soil one can dam up a little and hold 5 acres of water at a pretty reasonable cost, although it may not be very deep over most of it, but if you have reasonably steep terrain it may cost 4 or 5 times as much to cover 5 acres with water but when you do you will probably have a lot deeper water, and that's before you get started with clearing trees, if any, and what kind of soils and or rocky soil or even rock layers you are dealing with can increase or decrease costs by an astronomical amount. good luck!
