Fuentes de Ayódar

Can you build a house on rustic land?

The Valencian Community requires at least 1 ha for a new house on rustic land.

DL 1/2021, art. 211. A town plan can be stricter.

Plan in force: Plan General (a full town plan), from 2012. 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?

No well or borehole is recorded in Fuentes de Ayódar. That is not proof there is no water: ask local drillers. One spring is recorded.

Ground: 79% karstic or fissured aquifer, medium productivity; 17% low permeability, local groundwater only.

Choosing where to drill takes a hydrogeologist.
