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 :-/

    "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 ...

Never alone in an abandoned village

One might expect that being in an abandoned village will be lonely. But a part from Carlos and all the people who we knew were going to visit us, everyday there were people visiting the village. let's start with the people we knew were going to visit us in order of appearance.   Mirthe, Rick and Vos who came visiting with their camper to find out if they want to live in Bárcena and to help us some days. They are now in the process of preparing to move to Bárcena so it seems that the answer is yes!     Maaike's Brother Teun, his wife Marieke and daughter Sarah , who were there for 2 weeks and took a lot of trips with the kids and cooked for us almost every day! But most important: they really liked being there, so hopefully they will come often when we live there.      As an ultra runner Teun explored the area by running and cycling. For example he explored routes to Lences and found three different ones. Tibor's daughter Fiona , who helped a lot with ...
