I guess it depends on what you consider "high speed" - 100 Meg? Gig? 10 Gig?

Probably a point-to-point 802.11n wireless link would be fast enough without 
being hugely-expensive. That'll give you 300 Mbit/s, albeit half duplex. Use a 
pair of routers that will do bridging with cantennas or off-the-shelf 
directional aerials.
