There is no "single answer" for this; way too many factors to consider.
Try getting an idea from a website geared to that subject, like Wind Turbine Calculator, just the first of many links from a popular web search engine.

About 30,000, or 30 kilowatts. You could power your neighbors to the sides and in front of you, maybe also in back of you. Thatβs about it, but thatβs pretty good.

You can calculate this with online tools like this one but the crucial figure, the efficiency of the windmill, is gonna be a total asspull
It has to be very high above ground and it's impractical if you don't have a good site. Put in solar panels instead.

Depending on one's use case, one can also use a windmill, of any age, to directly generate hot water. Mostly useful if the end use for those watts is hot water. This is more efficient than wind to energy to hot water.
Edit to add: To get ahead of the obvious, but stupid question.
No, likely not hot enough to make steam to spin a different windmill/turbine to make electricity.
