300 feet is not such a long distance. What do you define as a creek? A ditch that carries some water year round or a real river? I wouldn't think a ditch or small brook would be too hard to cross. Just don't forget the applicable permits. In my area, bore holes run in the 150-300 foot range, so they arent cheap to drill. If you have ample flow at the house, a buried line to the barn would be the cheapest way out. Then just put a frost free hydrant in the barn, and there is nothing to worry about. If you do drill a new well, I would just put the bladder tank in the barn. Insulate a box around the tank with 2" styrofoam to keep the drafts out, put a heat lamp on or just a hundred watt bulb, and then put heat cable on all other exposed lines and you should be fine. I have no experience with below ground tanks etc. so can't help there. Perhaps the best advice is to talk to the well driller, as they would be familiar with your local conditions, and could give the best advice. Take care.
