Are there other specifics--ie, rake, rack mounts, etc? I ask because I've purchased used forks for projects with good success. Depending on your steerer tube length requirement, I may even have one shortly. Much cheaper route. Otherwise, I think you will probably be looking at $250 bare minimum, and up from there. Tom Matchak has done a number of custom forks, if I recall. Jeff Lyon as well, though I think mostly batch jobs. With forks, I would make certain of the builder's experience level before worrying about price.
Right now nothing on eBay with a fork crown like you want, but there is this, if you need a longish one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/vintage-mountain-frame-single-speed-mountain-bike-frame-/192227450794?hash=item2cc1a61faa:g:YDYAAOSw3h1ZTrph If you need rack mounts, you can have a builder put them exactly where you want--could probably even re-rake it. I got lucky with my 26" project. I had a NOS Riv 700c fork, unpainted. Just moved the canti posts, and now has tons of clearance for fat 26" tires.
