Excellent idea with the geese. Growing up, my grand parents had guinea hens (not sure if I spelled that right though) and those were also a more reliable alert system than dogs. So possibly a variety of bird options to consider. A concern would be that either can be heard from a relative distance and could attract undesirables, but... no more noise than a truck, tractor, atv, etc. so still a very viable/useful option in my opinion.

Nice. I'm not sold on the hills as shtf bunker due to the short grow season and limited hearty plants for food.
Geese are surprisingly quiet (for the most part) except for take off & landing. They have a few natural predators, so keeping the noise down is to their benefit (Jim ,Geese Whisper) Our friends had peacocks, those were some territorial birds, unfortunately not high up as a food supply.
I believe where ever you choose as the go to place, if properly set up should sustain you.

One thing i have not read about here, is the actual living quarters. How many people do you expect or can your area sustain, w/out everyone hitting their breaking point, privacy wise.
Area for kids, family, PRIVACY for you and the SO when adult time is needed. Not becoming so tightly packed you want to strangle someone.
