What rustic land in Cardenete allows and holds, for the municipality as a whole. For a particular plot, open it in the map: the report answers for that exact point.
Can you build a house on rustic land?
Castilla-La Mancha requires at least 1.5 ha for a new house on rustic land.
Other cases: 3 ha on protected rustic land.
Orden 4/2020, art. 5. A town plan can be stricter.
Plan in force: Normas Subsidiarias (an older, simpler plan), from 1988. The region's planning viewer ↗
The SIU does not map land classes here: the town plan is the source.
Only the town hall can confirm it, in writing: ask for a certificado urbanístico.
Is there water?
IGME records 4 wells and boreholes in Cardenete. Half of the 3 with a depth found water at 125–237 m. 10 springs are recorded.
Ground: 74% karstic or fissured aquifer, medium productivity; 11% porous aquifer, medium productivity; 8.5% low permeability, local groundwater only; 6.5% karstic or fissured aquifer, high productivity.
Choosing where to drill takes a hydrogeologist.
