Here's what I do when building my first house.

1 - Build it near food sources like cows, pigs and sheep, and near wood sources (trees)

2 - Sometimes I also built it near an area I can mine.

3 - Build it near the shore. (Makes it easier to find)

4 - Optionally, I also build some other structures nearby my house, to help me find my house again if I get lost it for any reason.

At the end, where you build the first house isn't very important. After all, once I advanced enough in survival mode, I ended up using my old house as a place where I can store all my materials, and I built myself a castle at a short distance from there. Sometimes I also like to build roads when I go off to adventure, so it's easier to return back to my house when it's almost nighttime.
