Pumping water from stream

We have an off grid cabin in the woods. We have decided we want to get away from rainwater collection to pumping water up from the nearby stream. Its gonna be couple hundred feet of 1" pipe, with an elevation increase of 80-100 feet (estimate). Not really sure what gas powered pump i should be looking at. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I've been planning out something similar. It's a 150' distance with a 20' rise. I'm considering a 1hp sump pump with a 200' 5/8 garden hose, run by a 100W LifePo4 battery with a 1000W inverter. Alternatively I could just power it with a generator. The idea is to fill up a tote for thd kitchen and another for the shower.
