Open floor plan. Storage on side of garage. No upstairs. No formal dining. You got kids? You going to need more room in the future? If so make sure you have a floor plan that you can add too easily.

Can I come hunt it?
Here is my input......
Build a huge utility room at least 12 x 16. Locate your electrical panel box, extra freezer, washer, dryer, ironing board and folding table, utility sink, brooms, mops, water heater. My GM has this and its awesome.

Just a few things......
Tankless hot water heater.
Under cabinet lights under wall cabinets in kitchen.
In your master bedroom, drop your crown molding down approx 8 or 10" down from the ceiling and run a rope light in behind it. This gives the room a great atmosphere for sexy fun time.
Make sure your tile setter uses the appropriate water proofing in any tile showers. Schluter makes a fool proof system that comes with a shower pan, drain, and everything else to do it right.

Separate master bathroom areas, his and hers. Best thing I ever did, also a shower with a steam system in it, it is the best. Man cave is pretty cool too. If you can afford it use the spray foam insulation also, it is unbelievable the difference it makes.

A couple of the things I am grateful for: The commercial grade stove vent. I do not enjoy the other rooms in my house smelling like food and my house is pretty open plan. A very large fireplace that vents well. Most importantly separate closets. I don't even know what my hubby's closet looks like. Last time I went in his closet there were shotguns, jackets, and clothes all over the place and it didn't even piss me off 
If we shared closets I would be livid.

The best advice I can give is to find an experienced builder you can trust. A custom home should be just that. Put the things in it that make you happy.
Some of the stuff already mentioned is great if properly executed. If installed incorrectly, they can be troublesome.
I'm building, and I'm going to pass on the spray foam, tankless water heaters, and steam generators.
I have done my research, and I made these decisions based on how my family would use them. They are cost prohibitive to us.
Congratulations on your new home.

My uncle in Leflor county said he ever had to build again he would just tell them to back up a new trailer. He built a house, two years later it burnned down, was in the process of building another and a tornado got, he finally go the third one up and lived in it. I know CSB
I would have a tankless water heater, multi split ac and heating, oh and a pond since you are on 1200 acres in the delta.

Floor drain in the mud room.
Dryer against an exterior wall to vent direct to outside.
Post tension slabs are worth a look.
Plumb & electric for future pool and yard / flower bed irrigation.
Use an interior decorator to assisted with color schemes.
Pre wire alarm and sound system. Cat 6 if you want.
Plan to exceed your budget by 20%. Include a landscaping budget. Houses look odd with no shrubbery.
Brick exteriors hold up well.
Windows in the front usually have divider strips for a window pane look. Don't use any dividers on the rear windows for a cleaner view.
Limit gutter use. You rarely need them everywhere.
Think of a bonus room over the garage as a good man cave area.
Outdoor kitchens & space are awesome.
Good luck!
