What “compound” means here

In Hamptons real-estate coverage, a compound generally means one property organized around several freestanding buildings — typically a main residence plus guest or service structures. It describes the estate's layout, not a public attraction. These are private residences; Hamptons Verified does not publish access guidance or details that could compromise residents' privacy.

Source example: Behind the Hedges — a reported Sag Harbor compound with a main residence, guest house and dining pavilion on one parcel.
