We had a 250 gallon propane tank buried in our yard to service a generator. We also had a line run to service a gas stove and an outside grill. All this required approval from ARC and cost around $13 grand for generator and installation. We use about 50 gallons of propane / year with the generator running for 10 minutes each week plus the gas stove and grill. If we loose power the generator will power the house for about 5 days.

If you just want a gas stove (and maybe an outlet for gas grill) you don't want a 250 gallon tank buried. An outside 50 gallon would be sufficient to cover your use for a year. The questions are: a) can you place such a tank above ground next to your house?; b) if not then can a 50 gallon tank be buried - check with the propane supplier?; c) in any case check with ARC to determine if approval is required. Cost for this type of solution should be well under $1 grand.
