With 3 acres and a couple of water courses, I would recommend the following:
Designate an area of immediate perimeter near house and outbuildings. Keep this groomed with two objects in mind. First, as stated above, wild critters have no cover in the area and will tend to keep away. Second, it can aid in keeping grass fires away from your structures.

Plant shade trees along the water courses. This will eventually help keep the water temperature down, improving habitat for fishes, if any are present.
Make pathways through the "natural" areas. Thiese should lead to benches under the trees, places for rest and reflection.

In the end, your property should be an asset, not a burden.
