Electrically operated main water shut-off valve, and water sensors at
appropriate points; laundry room, under sinks...   Smoke detector
network, rather than just individual detectors/alarms.  And, I have
never understood floorplans that put the bedrooms on one side of the
house, and laundry rooms on the other side, or another floor, usually
through the kitchen.  Laundry room - bedroom proximity would seem
logical.  New laundry appliances are remarkably quiet, but such a room
could still probably use some extra sound/vibration isolation from the
bedrooms.

A rooftop observatory would be neat - how's the light pollution in your
area?  If the 1200' is marginal for a runway, how about a firing range?
Neighbors still might be a problem.
