You have a farm, Dan. A compound has several buildings/homes that
people live in. I used to live on a family compound. We had 3 houses
and various other buildings, including three garages (one for 4 cars,
one for 3 cars and one for 1 car and the John Deer tractor, plus a
boat), the caretaker's cottage, two kennels - one that housed up to 30
dogs, the other up to 10) and a large workshop with an office/guest
house over it.
