Berantevilla

Can you build a house on rustic land?

The Basque Country allows a new house on rustic land only when a farm needs it. Otherwise it has to go in a village, or restore a building.

Ley 2/2006, art. 28. A town plan can be stricter.

Plan in force: Plan General (a full town plan), from 2018. The region's planning viewer ↗

The national urban information system (SIU) maps the land class for 99% of the municipality.

Only the town hall can confirm it, in writing: ask for a certificado urbanístico.

Is there water?

IGME records 2 wells and boreholes in Berantevilla. Half of the 2 with a depth found water at 73–172 m. 13 springs are recorded.

Ground: 37% practically impermeable; 32% porous aquifer, high productivity; 18% low permeability, local groundwater only; 8.9% karstic or fissured aquifer, high productivity.

Choosing where to drill takes a hydrogeologist.
