Q. What are the major water properties that make water special for life?

The water properties that make water biologically important are molecular polarity, thermal stability (elevated specific heat), ebullition and fusion points that allow water to be liquid in most environments, acid-base neutrality, low chemical reactivity and small molecular size. (Compared to other substances, like ethanol or hydrogen sulfide.)
