An acre is a measure of area which isnt exactly useful when talking distance...but lets assume its 2.5 Sq Acres. so approx 160m. You dont really want to be running ethernet that far, can work but ideally runs should be sub 100m.

Point to point wireless is what you want. Two ubiquiti nanostations and a wireless router for the shed is all you need.
