Cost to put in a Butler's pantry and water line for an ice maker?

Long story short, buying a house with less than ideal cabinet space and looking for ways to maximize storage.
The wife wants to put in a Butler's pantry with an ice maker.
Looking for something like this minus the wine fridge:

Need a lot more details.

Do you have space for the butler’s pantry?

Yes. There's a four foot wide space along the wall that could accommodate something like I posted. It backs up to an exterior wall.

The cabinets shouldn’t cost too much, prob less than a thousand. Ice maker 12-1500. Water line would just depend on where they can get the supply from. Need to run a drain out also but could just go through wall to outside.

Is the space near a sink or anything?
You’ll need electricity, water supply, and a drain. If there’s a sink or dishwasher nearby, you could utilize these.
You’ll need an icemaker with a pump since you won’t have a low drain for a gravity system.

Add a alarm auto shut off valve to that water line

Where is the nearest available water line, if not one already there?
Is this on a slab or crawlspace? if you need to run a water line from far away, that can become pricey

This will be you issue if you are on a slab.

It's a slab and the nearest water line would be the dishwasher about 15 feet away.

Well then you will need to cut and jackhammer the slab in order to tie into the drain line that the dishwasher uses.
Or if the butlers pantry location is on an exterior wall you could possibly run the drain outside of the house and tie into the sewer line outside.
Or they do make ice makers that don’t require a drain line, but I honestly don’t know much about them.
But if you want to use a traditional ice maker you will need a water supply (easy) as well as a drain line (difficult).

Cabinet makers should be able to quote you the entire thing including install outside of the ice maker and maybe even the ice maker.
You can run a Pex water line through the ceiling for the supply, hardest thing would be waste. It’s possible you could just waste outside I’m not sure?
As said they make ice makers similar to those in a fridge for like $900-1000 that don’t have waste lines. The ice isn’t clear good ice though and they are lower in production.
That project would be around $5000 is my guess especially looking nice like the pictured.

Google/Bing/whatever "ice maker drain pump". This eliminates the slab work, assuming you have access to a drain line in the attic nearby.
They're not cheap (E-Bay has one for $450), but it does give you another option.
ETA: here's an ice machine with built-in drain pump Amazon.
