A few other things I want to incorporate are:
Carpet in bedrooms only, hard floors in all other rooms.
Metal roof
No horizontal siding anywhere, especially vinyl or aluminum.
Master bath shower to be door-less, will be a walk-around tile set-up.
Some of my favorites from the suggestions so far are:
The small outdoor shower stall off the garage, see lots of advantages to this.
The kick-plate central vac for the hard floors
2x6 wall construction
9' ceilings downstairs
High mount faucets outside
Back-up gen
Door mounted on/off switches for closet/pantry, etc..
Attic fan
There are other too, but just wanted to thank you guys again. My wife has a pretty good sketch-up going.

Try to have two small water heater (tankless if you wish). This may eliminate a recirc. pump.
For your doorless shower, have it damnless so there is no tripping. I am not sure if this is the look for you, but we finished up one with steel troweled concrete (you can tile or stone) on all walls and floor with a 3x16" Stainless drain at one end. Maybe too modern for a Ranch style home.
