I looked at a lot a few years back where the house location was going to be 700 to 800 feet back from the road. There was a decent dirt path for about half of it and the other half needed to have some trees and large rocks removed. I have a guy who did driveway work for us at our existing place come out and give me a ball park guesstimate. To clear out the things that needed to be cleared out and put down a good base with ledge pack on top was going to be in the $25,000+/- range. It was enough that it scared me away from buying the lot. Not sure what the driveway path would be in your case and what type of trees and rock that need to be cleared but that was the number I was quoted. You're talking about a lot of materials to do a 1000 foot driveway.
