It depends on hundreds of factors, so, first let me outline the ideal ambient, that is:
1) Temperate climate, about 50'000 square kilometers surface, 1/2 good agricultural earth, 1/2 woodlands with good construction wood, lakes and rivers with clean water supply.
2) Non vaccinated survivors, no incest generated people with hereditary defects, mixed age sample, healthy, uniform race, IQ possibly the present mean European or higher.
3) Territory defensible by sea coast, large rivers, high mountains and/or deserts. No radioactive pollution. A group of islands may also fit the possible scenery.
My estimation: basically we need six to ten million individuals and 200 years.
P.S. for science fiction lovers: Antarctic would fit perfectly if the Earth axis shifts and the continent is placed in the temperate climate again but more time will be necessary to allow for the growth of forests first.
