If no separate appraisal separate total of land value from your total cost. Then calculate total square footage of each that will give you the cost per square footage and then allocate the average to your ADU and find the land area the same way.

Remember the depreciation taken will have to be recaptured when sold, so shoot for a fair adjusted cost of cottage to depreciate as an asset.[land is not depreciated,separate land value]

There is no one specific formula that you should use, but what ever method you do use, be sure to keep careful records and be consistence.

When you find the % of asset cost of the rental then that % will be used to allocated combine expenses that relate to both.[taxes,mortgage interest,and insurance if allowed to be combined,check with your agent]

This is the IRS guide.
