Andre's remedy for Belle Vista's breach of the contract to sell 350 acres would most likely be specific performance. This means that a court would order Belle Vista to fulfill its obligation to transfer the land to Andre as promised in the contract. This remedy is most appropriate when the subject matter of the contract is unique or when money damages would not adequately compensate the injured party. Since the land in this scenario is unique and Andre's intention is to cultivate grapes and open a winery, specific performance is the best remedy for him. options A, B, and C are not appropriate remedies in this scenario.
