New Property: Where to start?

My family is about to purchase 100 acres of raw, wooded land. We want to build a mid-sized cabin or house. The land has a creek that goes through it and one unpaved road that leads to it.
I am looking for advice on where to start. First i need to start drafting ideas of what i want really and looking for blueprints.
My first priority is pick the location where there can be well water access so I guess i'll have to hire someone to come out and mark areas. I have never done anything like this so if anyone knows where to start with that it would be great.
Right now here is what I am wanting to do/have on the property:
- Mid-sized cabin with: basement, ground floor, and upper level.
- Well water (I can easily tie it to solar and/or generator. But I will definitely have a hand pump)
- Some sort of attached or detached workshop, garage, or barn.
- I'll put a garden area near the living area
- Cistern or water barrels for rain water collection and storage

So far that's what I have. I also want the road in the property to be manageable for my well built wrangler to get to, but more difficult on the basic cars without 4x4. All of the vehicles in our family are by Jeep and have 4x4 capabilities. We have never owned a vehicle without 4x4 so it won't be an issue.

I'd love to hear what others have done and get some great ideas.
