We have a submersible pump, so actually the well house

in a hole this large, and assuming the flow was always
good, would it be possible to install a second pressure
tank (there's room in the well house) off the same pump or
install a second pump/tank to be able to carry water to
the far side of our property?

You can put several pressure tanks on your existing water main and then run pipes as far as the pressure will take the water. More pressure tanks actually make life easier on water pumps; they don't cycle on and off so often.
