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.

The national urban information system (SIU) maps the land class for 100% of the municipality.

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

Is there water?

IGME records 15 wells and boreholes in Valverde de Júcar. Half of the 14 with a depth found water at 7–10 m. 5 springs are recorded.

Ground: 49% porous aquifer, medium productivity; 30% surface water body; 17% low permeability, local groundwater only.

Choosing where to drill takes a hydrogeologist.
