Adding a ground rod is optional
You don't have to add a ground rod. Simply run the mast ground to the existing electrical service ground. Even if it's a fairly long run, it's effective and accomplishes the goal of holding the mast at ground potential.
Then, install a coax grounding block near the existing electrical service ground. (Close enough to need no more than 10' of #10 copper wire to connect the ground block to the electrical service ground.) Run the coax from the antenna to the ground block... then into the building.
I strongly prefer to keep all of the above wire and cable outside the building.

If the well is dry and you don't see rain on the horizon, you'll need to dig the hole deeper. (If the antenna can't get the job done, an amp won't fix it.)
