He was born in Vang, Hedmark.[1] His daughter Christiane was married to Colonel Birger Eriksen.[2] Sæhlie inherited his father's farm and distillery, which he expanded significantly.[1] At its heights, his distillery delivered 10% of the total amount of potato-based spirits traded in Norway.[3] He was elected representative to the Storting for the periods 1868–1870, 1871–1873, 1874–1876 and 1877–1879.[4] As a politician he first represented the Liberal Party, and later the Conservative Party.[1]
