About New Melle

New Melle sits in the scenic rolling hills of southwestern St. Charles County, about 40 minutes west of St. Louis. Founded by German settlers in the 1830s, this quiet crossroads town has held onto its peaceful, rural character as the surrounding region has grown. Today, it serves as a gateway to Missouri wine country, offering custom homes on generous acreage, scenic country roads, and an easygoing pace of life.
