Short range high speed point to point.

Very simple question, I will be getting a mini home on my farm about.... 500 feet from my parents house also on the farm. In my parents house where I live now we have fiber internet which is great for all of us but I do not want to buy it yet again for a mini home that close especially when I am the main user of this high speed internet. So I need a point to point system that is not horribly ugly and will do like.....800MBS at low latency over that small distance, clean line of sight. I could live with 500 plus but I want 800 so I can mostly fully use this connection and if something weakens the connection I would be slowed to like...400-500 not 200-300. The original connection is 1000 down and 900 up so as close to that as possible but I also do not want a 4000 dollar antenna for this. ant idea??

Ubiquiti is your best bet but with the Nanobeam ACs people tend to pull ~450mbps. Air fiber is you best option but I think those are like $1500+ a pop.

The Ubiquiti Nanostation 5AC's are capable of ~450Mbps. You could get 2 of them and make a PtP bridge  https://store.ui.com/products/nanostation-ac

Yea that would be ok. Not full speed but still good

Latency is the most important.

Outdoor rated, optical fibre cable

renting or buying a trenching tool

2 media converters and gbics

While this would be the fastest option... It would also be the most expensive. Unless the OP knows how to properly cut and terminate fiber optic cable, a pre-made 500ft outdoor rated cable will run you about $500 USD then the Fiber to Copper converters would be another couple hundred bucks. Cheaper to buy a high-speed wireless bridge. And quicker to setup. Ubiquiti Nano-Bridges are easy to setup and fast. Or you could go with the Nanobeams which are a bigger, but have more capacity. You can get two Nanobridges for about $200 US. Not difficult to configure, and only need a Cat 5e or Cat 6e cable and either a POE enabled switch or plug in the included power injector. At 500ft the hardest thing will be aligning the antenna's which is not difficult at all.

A cable would be the best option for you.
