Hi everyone,
I'm translating a paper about town planning in Italy in the 1930s and it is currently discussing settlements that were purposely built outside the city to house people displaced from urban development. My doubt is the use of 'anejos'. Do you think it could mean 'dependents'? Or any other suggestions very gratefully welcomed :-)
Cada finca, de 15 hectáreas, aunque variable en su superficie según la productividad de la tierra, estaba dotada de una casa para los colonos y sus respectivos anejos.
Each farm covered 15 hectares, although variable in its surface according to the productivity of the land, and was provided with a house for the settlers and their ?dependents?.

Comment: "Thank you! I was off on another track and was seeing the "sus" as referring to the settlers, not the finca! More coffee needed, methinks ;-)"

appurtenances
For an even more general and vague term, you can use appurtenances, which refers to other questions beyond just buildings:
Appurtenance. That which belongs to something else; an adjunct; an
appendage; an accessory; something annexed to another thing
more worthy; in common parlance and legal acceptation,
something belonging to another thing as principal, and which
passes as incident to it, as a right of way, or other
easement to land; a right of common to pasture, an outhouse,
barn, garden, or orchard, to a house or messuage. In a strict
legal sense, land can never pass as an appurtenance to land.
--Tomlins. --Bouvier. --Burrill.
anejo. 1. adj. Unido o agregado a alguien o algo; con dependencia, proximidad y estrecha relación respecto a él o a ella.

annexes
As a noun, an annex is part of a building or an addition to a main structure.
"Turning a summerhouse, detached garage or another outbuilding into a self-contained annexe is an ideal way of providing private accommodation for guests..."

NB: I think "outbuildings" works best in the query context.
