Make sure you get a self pollinating variety- most peaches are in fact, self pollinating, but just verify. You can also get what’s referred to as a fruit cocktail tree, which has multiple fruits grafted to the same trunk. Generally, any stone fruit can be grafted to the same stock. Regardless of the variety you get, all fruiting trees, benefit from additional pollinators. I’d make sure to plant at least a small section of native perennials both to help out your food production and the local ecosystem!
