Own

Bárcena de Buraba is an ideal place to live, whether you're considering it for a permanent residence, a vacation home, an escape from the dark winter months in northern countries, or a retreat for digital detox and mental clarity.

Regardless of your reasons, if you're interested in our project, there's a place for you here. Ardbol offers 65 plots of land on which houses can be built. We provide water, energy, and sewer services. To facilitate your investment, there are several options. The cheapest will be a 20-year lease for the plots, ensuring that you have all your needs covered with a single payment.

You have the option to construct your own house; we provide the space, expertise, and tools necessary to do so. Alternatively, you can enlist our services to build it for you.

Please refer to the images below for an overview of all available plots.

Here an overview, below there are two images which are zoomed in.

    You lease the plot for 20 years, so whatever you are building, a shed.. a villa.. you'll never be able to say it's yours, let alone sell it - because the whole village remains your property, is that correct? It doesn't really motivate :-/

      No that is not correct. What ever you build is yours and you can sell it. We do the lease as we need to provide you whit energy and clean water. We need to invest for that. After 20 years the stuff we bought will need a renewal so that is why we set it to 20 years.

    "as we need to provide you whit energy and clean water." How do you guys see that take shape? I reckon there is no electric grit in the area, so do you lean towards a mini-grid? When you talk about providing services like this, what are the thoughts on sewage?

    "You have the option to construct your own house; we provide the space, expertise, and tools necessary to do so. Alternatively, you can enlist our services to build it for you." Are all the ruins registered as houses, or some as stables? It looks like most are a total rebuild... Are you in the process of setting up a local building company or do you work with/ have a network of local builders?

    Hi. So we will build an energy mini grid indeed. We have already 35 solar panels and will add more with every new person joining using the funds from the lease.
    We will also to some form of sewage and clean the water to reuse it. We will have a filter system for cleaning and a pond for storing water.

    We will build our selves and we have connection. It could very well be a building person or small company will join the project.

The first week of work

After the transaction we had time to think about what we could do in the village, as now we are the owners. The next option for us to go to Spain was in the autumn holidays. Earlier on we tried to combine it with Spanish classes for the kids, but we couldn’t arrange extra free time from school, so we had to stick to the one week of school vacation. We thought about starting at one of the houses which is in the relative good condition, like getting a door, so we could close it and store stuff there. But we had no electricity or tools as we had no space to keep stuff safe. So we were kind of stuck in a chicken and egg problem. To get out of this we set up a plan to get a container which we could lock. But that would not be there for this vacation. Then Maaike’s parents asked: “Would it be of any use if we were there with some tools to clear away the burrs, bushes and so on?” Of course that would be great! We were happy that they were enthusiastic and by itself there was a plan to do ...

El Vicino

In May we went to 'our' village to show it to the parents of Maaike. So we drove there and after a half our drive with a lot of corners we were a bit drowsy getting out of the car. And there stood a friendly man in blue overalls.  He seemed Spanish we asked Maaike to talk to him. But she did not know what to say. So we looked at each other for a couple of minutes.  Then he started to tell that the village is empty which we agreed upon off course. He also told that the village was being bought by some people. Maaike asked if she should reply and we said yes please do. After telling the we are the mysterious people we are buying the village he started to tell a lot of stories. His name is Gerardo. He was born in the village and now lives in Burgos and in the summer in Abajas.  He knew about the buy because he owns a parcel of land and did not want to sell. He want to keep it for income and only wants to rent it out. So we talked about that for a bit and as we were intereste...

Finding the right pieces of land

When we first visited Bárcena de Bureba we where guided by the current owner Marcelino. As we where interested, we told him about our project Ardbol. We explained him that we needed about 5 to 10 hectares of land. He replied that it was no problem, he knew many farmers in the area. Soon we got an image of the land area (See image below) from Marcelino without any explanation but it looked promising.  We assumed the black crosses where the pieces of land we could buy. When I checked it on the Spanish cadastral website some pieces where quite clear but some existed out of many small parts.  After the price negotiation we where anxiously waiting on which pieces of land we could buy. In august we got a large zipfile with new information. As Yasmin could not open it and we where on mobiles we needed to wait until we where behind a computer, which of course added on to the tension. Finally we could open it. In it where 64 files. 60 of each house and 4 for the land. See the next imag...
