In 1872 Halvorsen bought the farm Blommenholm east of Sandvika. From 1876 he partitioned and sold parcels, mostly to town dwellers. He worked as a solicitor at that time, and in 1873 he was elected to serve in Bærum municipal council. He served until 1898, and was mayor from 1882 to 1886 and 1982 to 1898.
