to make it clear then:
The farm "El Silencio" is fenced wired through the land...
but we are talking about the term POR MEDIO

Example sentence(s):

se encuentra alambrada por medio con = shares a party fence with


Explanation:
A party fence is a fence which is situated on the dividing line between two different properties. "Party" means "shared" (between the two properties).

Here is a legal definition of "party fence":

PARTY FENCES – “Party Fences” shall mean and refer to any fences that are constructed on the property line of any two (2) adjoining Lots, a portion of any such fence being located on each of the two (2) adjoining Lots.
