I'm not an expert, but with that kind of volume, you will need quite a geothermal system and a massive ground loop I think. I would guess that it would be a very long time before that investment paid off.
If you want to save costs, and you already have the in-floor system, I would recommend an outdoor wood-burning water stove. I have a Taylor that has two inserts in the back for radiators that you can use for potable hot water heating. You can also use them for in-floor closed loops. The only downside is that you have to keep feeding the fire all winter or the main tank (open system) will freeze up.
