This is already kinda de facto true. You may find the ranting, smelly homeless person on the sidewalk objectionable, but to the extent you peacefully go around them, you're recognizing their human right to personal space.

Under most circumstances, most of us (not even most 2nd amendment gun nuts) wouldn't instantly harm someone we found in our space (home, office) who wasn't an obvious clear and present danger. We'd challenge/talk to them, call the cops or something.

Our basic mutuality-humanity-recognition instincts are actually far more humane than the design of laws and formal structures we've developed to codify/govern them. Design is inhumane because designing to the "limit of decency" is actually hard.

Trigger-happy gun nuts who would in fact instantly shoot anyone in their claimed territory in a shoot-on-sight mode are either people under orders from military/police regimes OR crazy people who take our space-governance systems a little too literally.

There are more de facto examples of this, basically anything with key-controlled access (apartment buildings, individual homes, etc.). Real estate property rights are basically the de jure system for this, although with less granularity then what you're talking about.
