There is a compound on the lake where our cottage is located, as well as one off a main road about a mile from my house. In both cases, they were originally family compounds, with several houses on land that was set up to be shared. However, in both cases, the family aspect unraveled in recent years. Houses within the compound have been sold to outsiders - they were sold on the open market, so I assume that the new owners probably have no connection to the original families. I don’t know the people involved, but I think it could be strange (and possibly uncomfortable).
